Simon Says

I can't do jack crap NOW - I am a sick puppy. But maybe later when I am sharp with my writer and medical science develops a CURE (fat chance) for the mental madness that has its claws deep inside of me. Grr.
 
What I truly want is for some day to get published. That's the plan. I have my work cut out for me but I am determined; and you can take that to the bank.
 
I have been a member of this other forum - a writer's forum - and the grand majority of the membership make a living via their writing. That group has taken me under their wing and they tell me (straight-up) where I am as a "writer". It is quite evident that my road to publication is L O N G (but) I am determined. I KNOW that my day is coming. All I have to do is learn, edit and write everyday. It's not easy but I have an advantage: I ADORE the craft of writing very much.

Simon says take people's advice when it comes to criticism you solicit.
 
I appreciate OReillysRose words doen't get me wrong. I just see (likely not) a little tension there - between the lines. If I have offended then forgive me. It's hard to determine such things via text-only format.
 
I do the other two also. A foe?

I did say that we only see evidence of the writing, not the other two. My point is that you are constantly given varying degrees of helpful advice to your 'writing' posts and forum members have shown great patience, but you rarely, if ever, show the gratitude and respect due by coming back to your posts and show that you have learned. You don't do re-writes. You don't re-work. You don't edit.

I just think it would be nice if you did that.

And the world can be a better place...
