talented friend

Hi,
I have a very talented friend of mine, who used to write poetry, but stopped a year ago. But suddenly she e-mailed me 2 of her newborns yesterday and I think it is brilliant. I keep encouraging her to write and even to publish somwhere, but she seems so uncritically shy.... any suggestions? what should I tell her to make her trust in herself and go out to light? .....thanx;)

Well, perhaps if she could get one published that would spur her on...

maybe she try to share some of her poems and then after she sees the comments good critics maybe she convince to share all. ;)
