I think I can tell when I read something written by a writer who wasn't passionate about what he or she was doing. <br /><br />And yes, the Black Stallion is an awesome book. <br /><br />Hi Panamajane! So great to hear from you. I took a look at your blog and loved the stories and photos. I hope you keep coming back.JaredNGarretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811123893472925841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222699896244368641.post-24687596103817093592010-08-18T08:21:09.630-07:002010-08-18T08:21:09.630-07:00Very interesting post Jared, full of useful tips a...Very interesting post Jared, full of useful tips and reasons to write. I would like to write one day myself, so I follow you on twitter to pick up tidbits. I've dipped my toes in the water with my blog about my experiences of moving to Panama from the UK.<br />I like how you put up chapters of your book so regularly - I think a lot of writing is learning to apply yourself without getting sidetracked (my problem!). I found this quote from Iris Murdoch which I find helpful: 'I am not neurotic about writing. I don't wait for inspiration; I just go ahead and work office hours, as it were.' Iris Murdoch, 1968.<br />Thanks again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222699896244368641.post-42247124366394608982010-08-18T08:01:08.086-07:002010-08-18T08:01:08.086-07:00Ponderous musings.
