Great Maker -

While you are obviously a *very* gifted professional writer, I'm sure
that there is still at least one area in which you're specifically,
consciously working to perfect your skill. I'm wondering what that area
(those areas?) is - what do you find the most difficult to do well
writing-wise? What tends to disappoint you the most about your writing?
And what are you doing to try and improve that area (those areas?) that
give you trouble?

Thanks for letting me be so nosy!

Laura

There isn't any part of it that I think I've totally whipped...and I hope I
never do, because the moment you think you've got it all sussed, you've stopped
trying, and the work stultifies.

So there isn't really any one area, just a general sense that I have to
continue to get better...and the only way you get better is to keep trying new
things, in different combinations.
