Maybe in another 20 years or so there might be a different sort of writing in me, but not for now... Accuracy is certainly something we need to display in our writing. I tend to find I need to do something to manage my state first though to make sure that I am accurate - maybe something like motivated, or focused, or attentive... Otherwise I find my attention can drift off and I let errors drift in. Hope you had a good Christmas Joanna Hi Laura, well I’m like you, I write and write about non-fiction.

Accuracy is certainly something we need to display in our writing. I tend to find I need to do something to manage my state first though to make sure that I am accurate – maybe something like motivated, or focused, or attentive… Otherwise I find my attention can drift off and I let errors drift in.

Hope you had a good Christmas

The only thing that I could think of to add would be accuracy. Of course, that only applies to nonfiction work. Nice list Joanna!

It's most inspiring and a great continuation of the conversation. I'm sorry that Typepad ate your comment - and then spat it out again! It's most annoying when that happens. But better to have two than lose both... I've deleted the duplicate. When I went in I discovered they've a new filter system which I hadn't picked up on before and found a comment of yours on the tagging conversation - I'm so sorry it wasn't published before. Will go and reply to that one just now. Joanna Jeanne, thanks very much for your follow up piece. It’s most inspiring and a great continuation of the conversation.

It didn't "take" the first time I tried to leave it, as far as I could tell. (Even after refreshing the page, it wasn't there.) Then, Voila! the first comment showed up along with the second! Please feel free to delete one or the other--along with this one! Thanks! Jeanne Sorry for the duplicate comment! It didn’t “take” the first time I tried to leave it, as far as I could tell.

It's good to remember the fundamentals of why we're writing sometimes - it certainly boosts my motivation when I do @ Jeanne Those are great contributions to the list. I particularly liked "self-confidence tempered with a touch of humility" :-) Joanna @ Brad I hope so.

I appreciate that! I have a few other thoughts to add, as well. The inner resources that would help me to achieve my writing goals in 2008 are creativity, insight, inspiration, persistence, and self-confidence tempered with a touch of humility. (Of course, "niceness"--aka kindness--is also very high on my list! Have a wonderful Christmas! Jeanne Joanna,
