5 Things I Have Learned From My First Few Days Of Reading Slush by Michael Merriam, Age 44

[mmerriam]

1. I am a significantly better writer than I think I am.

2. I am not good enough to be consistently successful at the professional level.

3. I am developing an understanding of why #2 is the current state of being.

4. I am beginning to see how to use #1 to change #2.

5. I have to continue writing while integrating and acting on this new information if I want to change #2.

*nodnod* It really teaches you the what and why. Slush, that is. Glad you're getting something from it so quickly. :)

Even with a team of us reading slush, the volume is high enough that I'm seeing a lot of stories in a short time.
