Writing craft

I'm reading another craft book, sort of -- actually its closer to therapy. But the author makes lots of good points. For example he contends that we need both faith and doubt in a healthy balance to succeed at writing. Too many doubts and we'll never get off the ground floor. Too much faith and we won't work hard enough to perfect our craft.

I've been thinking really hard about the story that was rejected. It isn't a perfect for their line. But it's still a story I love. More revisions ahead. :~
