Re: Do you ever feel you're getting worse?
You guys and gals are probably right. I've been wondering whether I've been writing the wrong sort of thing. So afraid of repeating myself I've been trying to write things I normally wouldn't. I'm going to return to my comfort zone, write somethings just for myself and see how it feels. Thank you fo...

Do you ever feel you're getting worse?
Over the last few years I've struggled more and more with my writing: I turned 30 this year and have been writing since I was, what, five years old.

The only similiar thing I have is that if I type for too long my fingers ache - I'm always cracking them - and I have to stop. Consequently I can't type for long periods. But then I prefer to write by hand first so I only deal with the pain some of the time. Too much of one activity is always going ...
