Learning from a different perspective and seeing it from a teacher's point of view (or a student's) allows me to broaden my writing abilities.Tamara L Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084695386450817313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806244977869265498.post-24898183187746049642011-05-02T15:13:07.722-04:002011-05-02T15:13:07.722-04:00Your picture is beautiful!

Although the two styles of writing are VERY different, improving in one area improves the other too. Things like passive voice and active verbs have universal carry-over.Jessie Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581727105030086814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806244977869265498.post-29286461792721489072011-05-02T07:46:44.440-04:002011-05-02T07:46:44.440-04:00I pull a lot of my writing from nature.
