Encouragement is important to all human beings and animals too. It is especially helpful to writers. A friend of mine, Jessica R., is an encouragement machine! At present, she is teaching a Leisure Learning class at McNeese State University and I've enrolled in it. I missed last week's class and checked with her regarding homework.
Before I could get everything straight in my noggin, she had encouraged me all the way to writing a 400 word essay on Grandmother's Cooking, dusting off a piece written long ago, and entering both of them in competitions.
The piece on Grandmother was a small tour-de-force, as I had very little contact with my grandparents. But Jess kept pushing me. She made several suggestions, I adjusted the piece (because she was right-on in those suggestions), and voila! I had a decent product to send on its way. Thanks Jess.
