You know I've been a fan of your writing since before we even met, so this is a huge compliment for me. <br /><br />Having friends who are intelligent writers DEFINITELY affects the quality of my work. I think of you and "southern fried feminism" when I write about women; I think of Carla Jean W. whenever I proofread. I think if every writer I know when I'm not in the mood and want to dash out something lazy. It's the best pressure in the world!Tatianahttp://tatianainflux.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-638454336208915792.post-50855481689098514902012-06-14T18:45:22.943-05:002012-06-14T18:45:22.943-05:00Awww, thanks, Javacia! There are many women I thin...Awww, thanks, Javacia! There are many women I think about when I write or when I think about my writing goals, and you are among them. I like thinking about it as you've put it here, to impress someone, not compete with or compare yourself to others. I live hearing, "Congrats," or, "I'm proud of you," from my mentors. This post reminds me to step my game up.<br /><br />And love the pic, but Rosie needs some pumped up knuckles!Mariamhttp://redboneafropuff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-638454336208915792.post-18525470799837740752012-06-14T13:42:08.254-05:002012-06-14T13:42:08.254-05:00Thanks, girl.

And yes, you do inspire me. In fact, you've inspired me so much lately that I'm gonna drop my fiction for a little bit and take up with creative nonfiction and do that memoir (just for myself, not to be published any time soon.) I think it will be great healing for my soul. I even set a realistic and manageable writing schedule and everything! LOLCarolhttp://about.me/carolmarksnoreply@blogger.com
