on Writing Forward:
It’s not possible to improve your writing overnight, unless you hire an expert to do it for you.
People study the craft for years, decades even, and still they strive to make each piece of writing better than the last.
Sure, there might be some quick tricks and shortcuts you can pick up and apply immediately, but these only improve your writing in small increments.
If you want to become a good writer (let alone a great writer), be prepared to make a long-term commitment to the craft.

Well, even with the terrible cold I’m fighting, I don’t think I look QUITE that horrible. (If I’m wrong, don’t tell me. 😂) Hopefully, I’ll get this avatar thing sorted out before long, but if not, it looks like I’m being assigned whatever’s available, like it or not. Doh!!! 🙄

And now I can’t even get my replies in the right spot. I think I’ll go spend the rest of the day in the Comfy Chair, with my book and a box of tissues. 😁

Sorry about the ugly-faced avatar, Chris. Mine disappeared a couple of weeks ago, and I can’t reset it no matter what I try. And now it’s gone from a design to a monster. Urk!! Hope I can get it sorted out soon.
