Trifextra Week 2 – take 2
I find myself in the midst of writers much better than I. At least they seem so to my mind as I read their submissions. While this could (should?) discourage me, it makes me want to write better and for that I am thankful.
——————————————————————————————————
I am wowed often by the other Trifecta/Trifextra submissions, but it only keeps me at the keyboard. After reading the other submissions this week I found myself talking to myself. That conversation is above.

This is my first encounter with Trifecta, and I’ve been really impressed with the quality of the writing – you included! Thanks for sharing.

I love these challenges because they are brain stretchers. Then I start reading everyone’s submissions and I feel in awe of their writing skills. Makes me aspire to learn more!

Don’t we all feel this way? And isn’t that what keeps us moving forward? That’s what I love about this community of writers – we support each other. We push each other.

I also feel this way. I am humbled each time one of the other talented writers leaves a comment on my work. This has been an amazing thing for my writing. I think you have the best piece this week! You spoke out loud what a lot of us were already thinking and you were able to use it for the challenge! Great job!

Barbara, this is one of the most honest responses we have ever had — and look how many people have chimed in to say they feel exactly the same way. But I while I appreciate your modesty, I have to say we love clicking on your links every week. And I look forward to clicking again for this week’s challenge!

When I read someone else’s work that is better than mine, pushes mine, it feels kind of great. Makes me step out of my box. So I know how you feel…

I suspect many of us think the same about you
we all have our skills, talents. It’s great blogs like trifecta that brings out the best of us and teaches us to be better.
