Almost Domesticated

It is so exciting to see my daughter have so much ambition.  It is also so exciting to be able to help her achieve her dreams by encouraging her to stick to dance and study every night.  She can be anything she wants to be and we’re here to encourage her when times get tough or she gets discouraged or bored.

I am just now developing these skills in myself.  I know that I want to write, but I’m not sure what I want to write or how to make a living doing it.  I have been diligent and written every day this week.  I am working on those little things to reach my bigger goals.  

Jeff is a working actor.  I am so inspired by his hard work and dedication to his craft.  He prepares for every audition and goes out for everything.  Jeff is not afraid to try new techniques or do different things to get a part.  He’s not afraid to put himself out there.  He knows he won’t be great every time or at every new thing he tries.  He continues to try and learn from what doesn’t work and is very successful because of it.

I am trying to learn from the harsh criticisms of my poetry class.  I am trying to write every day and develop good writing habits.  I am trying to take the suggestions my teacher made and applying them.  I am trying to see past myself when it comes to my writing.     I’ll keep doing these little things and learning from my mistakes.  I’ll also try to get past my feelings getting hurt and apply some of the suggestions made from the critiques.  We’ll see!
