Funny that you experienced a change in the orderly gardening thing.

I don't think all unpub'd authors are harsher, more so those that (1)haven't been at it long or (2) those full of workshop & craft knowledge with little hands on experience--meaning those with no finished manuscripts or those not even close to having one finished. <br /><br />It's always easier to tear someone's work apart when you have no first hand experience at doing it yourself. <br /><br />(look, I acutally commented on the topic this time) :-)<br /><br /><br />And I totally believe in the results of that pysch study on gardeners. I started out with the most orderly garden around (I used a ruler to ensure straight lines and proper spacing)-- and yes, my life was a disorderly mess at that time. But as I've worked to balance myself over the last few years, I've noticed that while I've not let go completely of my orderly garden, I am a bit more Devil May Care with it (but I still have my limits-lol)La-Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08658551442881738907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-36367298329161961962010-03-23T08:40:18.848-06:002010-03-23T08:40:18.848-06:00At least you have daffodils.

It reminds me of a psych study of gardeners that showed people with chaotic personal lives planted very formal, neat gardens, where people with orderly personal lives tended to have the wilder, cottage gardens.Jeffe Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779020656676094853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-43727631248353270482010-03-23T08:12:18.709-06:002010-03-23T08:12:18.709-06:00By extension, do you think training in ikebana wou...By extension, do you think training in ikebana would help a writer gather her thoughts in a pleasing, if Japanese, manner?Marin (AntiM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06169366794914669666noreply@blogger.com
