When my kids were young we often ended our day with the best & worst game.... where I would ask them what the best thing about ___________ was - and then what was the worst - or vice versa.
___________ would be filled in with boring things like your day, school, being with Grandma, the birthday party, whatever... it was a place to start the conversation ....& it was often very effective at getting to the Real Stuff That Mattered.
So - wanna play?
Since this is, of course, Writing Essentials, not school, being with Grandma, the birthday party, whatever... lets go with filling in the blank with any (or all, I suppose) of the following...
What is best/worst about ---
- the last thing you wrote?
- a writing career?
- your writing career?
- writing?
- or fill in your own blank if you like .... but do try to stick to a writing related theme :)
I'll be back to play too .... got some marking to get out of the way first though.

But first, this word from my shower.
My most noticed article about The Beautiful Trees of the Bahamas,
was on the front page of Gather and garnered more readers there, otherwise the two that got the most comments were the one about PORN
and the other about Point whoring
. What does that tell you? :-)
My favorite photo essay was not even written by me, another BIRD
wrote it!
Worst thing about writing...is that it makes you really look at yourself, outside and inside!
The best thing about a writing career is getting paid for what I love to do. The worst thing about a writing career is deadlines.
