Mentoring
Mentoring a new writer is exciting on several levels. There is the anticipation of guiding a new writer around some of those pitfalls that often plague beginners and the joy of helping to make someone’s dream come true. It is challenging on a different level from writing your own work for the very reason that it is not your story and the point is not to make it your story. It’s a dance of learning when to lead and when to follow.
