About three years later she came to me and said, "Remember when you told me XYZ about my manuscript? I now understand what you meant. Thank you and sorry."<br /><br />The point of all this is that I've come to realize that there are certain lessons we need to be at the right stage to learn. If the insight is given too early, we simply don't "get it." One of my husband's favorite sayings is, "When the student is ready a teacher will appear." If people are taking the time to talk to you, it's because they see promise there.<br /><br />My youngest is set to fly home from London on BA on Friday, strike and ash permitting.

It sounds as if you've been doing some real soul searching on the writing front; those moments of clarity about what to do and where to go next are a real gift. Good luck with your scripts.

When I look at the whole thing I can see that it's not structurally correct yet but I can't see the wood for the trees either.<br /><br />Thanks Liz, you might just have hit the nail on the head there.Jenny Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640209636605410939noreply@blogger.com
