Why Keep Growing? by Jeremy D Vance

       After reading many craft books, we writers may believe we’ve arrived. We know all about grammar, voice, plot, research, etc and we’ve even published some manuscripts.       Why keep growing?      Because we owe it to our readers.  They deserve the best of our writing. We need to keep delivering quality stories to capture their imagination so they may forget the stress and junk of life.       Because even widely published authors do it. I know of examples where authors of many books keep attending conference workshops or continue within a critique group for outside input. If they continue working on their craft, why shouldn’t we?      We can’t let our work stagnate. We need to stay up-to-date to maintain a freshness in our work so that when the art changes, we can change with it to grow our readership.  May we all progress as writers. Press on!
