Stories or Scenes?

The worst thing I could have done, and did, was show my stories to family members and people that don't read.  "This is great stuff!"
Actually, looking back at all those stories, I realize they aren't.  In fact, they are far from ok.  Not that my writing now is the greatest ever printed, but they sure are a whole lot better.  The best thing I did was show them to people who actually read.  Now, even better, I'm showing them to people who write!  I'm enjoying the feed back I'm getting.
To think, I almost called it quits many a time.
(I raise my glass of scotch).  Here's to struggling for your passion, the only one that brings you joy, and love.
