forgot to follow up with a question: To what extent does good self-esteem, all the shades of grey in between, and bad self-esteem determine the quality of one's writing?
oh no, did you have to ask that? ;)
WHat do you think??
I think they are inextricably related but one doesn't cancel the other out. Writing, all kinds, can happen in either condition but I'd venture that the more inspiring kind would eminate from persons with good self-esteem as differentiated from arrogance. I see a relationship, a complicated one. quasimodo1
:D Is there a question in there??
I don't know --- sometimes writing can be therapeutic. As far as inspirational value, I'd say that would come from the writer's ability to combine words and put it down, self-esteem and/or arrogance or not.Quote:

Did I just post several declarative sentences in a thread for interogative sentences only? where is my dunce cap?
Will a chef's cap suffice?
does that imply that you can cook?
I can cook ONLY if my life depends on it :blush:
But am I a good cook, THAT is the question! :lol:
Well, my dad always said the only thing worse than a woman that can cook and won't is a woman who can't cook and will! Would you believe I had an aunt like that? Her cooking would drive a starving begger away from the door at full tilt just from the smell, know what I mean?
I know what you mean, but did she ever improve? isn't the old saying correct, if at first you don't succeed..?
as in "try try again?"
Unfortunately, yeah, she did try again, and again, and again,--HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...omKane/TID.gif Practice makes perfect, but what if what you are doing is already wrong? Won't you just prefect wrong?
Did she burn water, Pen?
