A fascination for the stars, a friendship with the darkest night;
a search for adventure, a longing for the light;
a journey to the edge of the universe, a wonder in my eyes...
I have strong convictions, I love to sing and dance, I hate sham, lies and guise.
I love life, people, oceans, pens, dreams, cats, chocolate, and I'll stand for what is right.
You can tell me what I should be, Everything I lack.
But at the end of the day just take me back to where the stars still shine at night.

I'm sure it does say it somewhere official. I remember reading it. I also remember not being able to find it when you and I were doing this experiment.
Kasia,
Thank you for writing this. I have recently gotten out of the habit of writing this way because of family and life stuff. You have articulated exactly my experience; "It's like two days in one." I've said these exact words to my husband as I describe my day.
There is something so critical about writing these experiences down, as fellow sojourners, we need these small, but vital reminders to stay the course. To remember the path/method that has been revealed, that truly does work. I am most productive and most fulfilled when I maintain my early morning meditation and writing time.
If you want to take a break, take it, but instead of getting discouraged about all the similarities, maybe you should stand on the other side of the fence and look at it from the perspective of, "wow, my novel has all the same similarities as two best selling novels. I am on the same wavelength as best sellers".
Think how many romance novels contain the same similarities. They are still different in their own way and are read by many. Writing is straighforward. It's work. We just wish, wish, wish, it was easier.
Keep going when you're ready. Keep writing.
Hi Kasia! I was just checking out your blog and stumbled onto this entry. Okay, I just picked a random entry.
Your before and after samples of writing do show a difference. In the older writing, you did not use much description. However, the newer style of your writing has more description. I like it. Surely, this goes to show you that being on WDC has helped you become a better writer. I look forward to reading more of your works of art.
Same here. It is kinda traumatizing reading my old writing, but in another way it's encouraging to see how far I've come. I think it's a good thing to do once in a while but not frequently.
It can be difficult to tell from such a small sample, but in the latter paragraph, the writing does feel more confident in a way. Your previous writing was good too, but there's a finesse to the second that I really like. I'm impressed that you went back and read your old writing; I hate reviewing my older work because it reminds me of how much worse I used to be! I suppose there's something to be said for coming a long way and improving and all that, but old writing for me is kind of like painful memories of a bad relationship... I don't often like to brood about the way things used to be; I'd rather focus on how things are working for me now. I really liked both excerpts; congrats on the improvement!
I liked your poems/stories. I love to review stuff and am more frightened of the writing of messed up stuff. Maybe we need to trade brains for a day. Or maybe not.
