In reply to Jenny Hansen. Thanks, Jenny! And I have learned a lot of those skills from your insights and blogging coaching. The Zone of Proximal Development is a fascinating topic - like how to get into it and stay there when you need to. I'd love to hear more about it. Productivity and creativity tips are some of my favorite posts to write and read. :)

In reply to Lisa Norman. Lisa, it is admirable to take on that level of entrepreneurship with a publishing business, on top of all the other work you do with and for writers. Kudos!

In reply to Denise. I agree, Denise. Putting your words into the world reveals a little about who we are and how we think. But it's a vulnerability that's so worth it, knowing that those words can evoke all sorts of emotions and thinking in others which in turn can impact, educate, entertain, and heal people.

Kris, I've grown from every risk I've ever taken as both a writer and an instructor. You've got to do stuff that scares you, or that feels uncomfortable, if you want to reach up to that next level. Your post reminds me of a talk I watched on Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. I might have to do another post on it all.... And BANG UP job on all your website work - I just went prowling your links and you have grown at a rapid rate while I've been busy with cancer. I'm so proud of you!!

In reply to Denise. Very risky! And yet, it is the heart of what we do!

One of the biggest risks I took was starting my own publishing house. I learn so much from the books I've published and the authors I have worked with. It is a ton of work, but I wouldn't trade a moment of it! It was so risky, but so rewarding!

The act of pursuing writing and sharing one's words and stories is a risk.

In reply to Ellen Buikema. Yes,and Ellen, you have taken risks too. Living abroad and most recently taking on a poetry contest are things I haven't tried recently. Thanks for the comment.
