6/14 WIP Tip: Measuring Up
Most of the next month’s WIP Tips will center on helping you get deep into character, plot & setting of your story, but today’s is a question about you as a writer.
How do you measure your worth as a writer? Do you measure yourself by words or by the joy you find in creation?
This question is loosely based on a passage I read in a philosophy book. And before you pick one or the other, do be aware that there is a time and place to measure yourself by both. The wisdom comes from knowing which one you feel at which stage of your writing.

It's pretty simple, really. I'm a writer who loves writing about writing, and sharing all the tricks of the trade with other writers. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a hunch you know what I mean :)
