I'm Only the Trombone Player

Why Am Here, Who Are These People In My Living Room?

What's the point (my goals) in being on WdC?

From my point of view there are several;

First (D'OH ) to write of course and have a convenient way to share that my writing.

Second, to learn to be a better writer, knowing I'll never be as good as I'd like to be. How?

Being a musician, I learned there are several paths to "betterment";

          Practice!
          Practice!
          Practice!
          Listen to other great players and not just in the genres that make you comfortable
          Invite, Accept and Learn form criticism, not all of it's pleasant to hear, but it's all a learning tool.
          Keep Practicing!

How do I translate that to writing?

          Write!
          Write!
          Write!
          Read others writing of all types, seek out writers that you want to be when you grow up!
         This one didn't change - Invite, Accept and Learn form criticism, not all of it's pleasant to hear, but it's all a learning tool
          Keep Writing

Lastly, to give voice to the characters who visit me late at night, hopefully once I tell their tales they'll let me sleep.

That's why I'm here.
