Thanks for great insight into writing @bryanj4. The other part of the equation --- one that must not be overlooked -- is that all great writers are voracious readers. The best advice is to "write write write, and read read read!"

I really enjoyed your article @norma-jean!!! I'm following you now and cannot wait to see what you write next.
Thanks @bryanj4. I've only been hanging around Steemit for just over a month. Still looking for writers, and those interested in writing. (And those not really "interested" but wanting to improve their skills anyway. LOL)
