Your comment plus the fantastically inspirat...@Kat<br /><br />Your comment plus the fantastically inspirational words in this video made me think.<br /><br />Just about anyone can make noise come out of a French Horn. (I've even done it.) Just about anyone with a modicum of literacy can form written sentences.<br /><br />The weird thing is that just about everyone realizes it takes many years of hard work and practice for the horn-noises to become music, but very few seem to grasp that it takes nearly as much effort for the sentences to become good stories.<br /><br />My writing might be horn blats right now, but practice DOES make perfect. Or at least makes better.Elissa Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727748060605823895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-59205288351028847542013-12-08T12:25:56.874-05:002013-12-08T12:25:56.874-05:00Thank you for this link.

It's maddening: I still have the ear to know I'm playing poorly, but my lips and lungs won't do what I want them to do. I know from experience the strength and skill will return with practice, so I keep playing despite the splatty notes.<br /><br />It's nice to know daily writing will eventually yield the same results.Kat Waclawikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400506782075111303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-2864701828640272172013-12-08T09:48:04.020-05:002013-12-08T09:48:04.020-05:00That was beautiful.

And I think, even for a veteran, it's okay to acknowledge that there's still, sometimes, that gap -- between what you imagine and who comes out on the paper. Because, if we're (we're in the general sense) doing it right, we're still learning. And growing.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this. I always learn so much for your posts.
