Well, novice or professional - it was a great post! And it's never too late to get started, so go for it! You're already making a good impression, as you can see from the comments.
(And make sure you listen to Cody more often. He clearly knows what he's talking about!)
Hahaha, get out of here @ats-david! I would never claim to know what I am talking about. I am giving a solid effort in real life curation though, so far so good! My mom is a hell of a writer though, fact.
I will agree with you about your mom's writing. Keep encouraging her!
Encouragement is 90% IRL curation. The first draft of her bio was a paragraph, I sent an email back reminding her of all the things she lived through that I was aware of. It was interesting reading about things I didnt know about in her post, being her son and all.
