The Portuguese say, "Aprender até morrer." ("Learn until you die.") Even as an old bat, I realize there are things I've yet to learn and "get right." Which doesn't mean to say my (our) thoughts and opinions aren't valid. Telling a fellow writer what does/doesn't work for you is a genuine place from which to give feedback and, I think, a great way to help you with your own writing. Know what I mean, jellybean? :-)<br /><a href="http://minalobo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Some Dark Romantic</a>Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-811549697056618895.post-35359536498600129472012-08-01T15:36:56.333-05:002012-08-01T15:36:56.333-05:00Welcome to IWSG.

I'm a new follower and hope to see you around.<br /><br />As for your insecurities, they are totally normal. We've all been there. But the more you write and the more you critique and allow your work to be critiqued, the better you get at both. Trust me on this. I've learned so much from both being critiqued, as well as critiquing myself, which I used to be absolutely terrible at. But I'm pretty good at it now. And you will be, too. Just give yourself time, patience, and lots of practice! And yes, as Winston Churchill famously said, "Never give up!"Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-811549697056618895.post-36464635847887559712012-08-01T13:37:43.130-05:002012-08-01T13:37:43.130-05:00I'm pretty sure my first IWSG post looked like...I'm pretty sure my first IWSG post looked like this too!

Take your favourite novel, choose a page at random, read a sentence at random. Chances are it's a normal sentence, just like something you would write (or have written). If you're lucky you'll find a sentence that you'd rewrite better!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-811549697056618895.post-91848440040644106402012-08-01T12:30:00.104-05:002012-08-01T12:30:00.104-05:00Very good post!

I felt like I didn't know what to offer up in a critique group either, but felt like it was all about me when asking for help. But you know, that is what a critique group is for, to teach you. Offer up your advice, no matter how inexperienced you think it may be. You are going to offer up a perspective for people in your age group. Don't be shy, you will be helping more than you realize!Mel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-811549697056618895.post-21955225088898133712012-08-01T12:12:35.662-05:002012-08-01T12:12:35.662-05:00No need to fear!
