I've kept all those manuscripts and if I were to compare what I wrote at 12 to what I write now I have to laugh at myself. Yet it's encouraging as well to see how far I've come. Those first manuscripts show my immaturity, both in age and experience. But we never gain maturity or experience if we don't write. I finished my first "real" novel when I was a freshman in college and since then have completed three more. Even looking back over the span of those 15 years (yes, I've been out of college that long!) there has been tremendous growth and maturity in my writing. So don't be ashamed of your firsts. We all have to start somewhere and writing is no different than the rest of our life. We learn and we change and we grow so that our first will never be the same as our last. I know that what I'm writing now still has room for improvement and polishing but the readers and encouragement I get is what keeps me moving forward with the desire to hone this craft even further. Be proud that you had the guts to start somewhere and grateful that you've had the chance to get where you are now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
