Tech-Savvy comes with learning and practice. I've spent a few years designing and administrating a busy interactive gaming site 1998-2003 and again in 2005 and that really is a trial by fire in programming aspects. Then the web constantly changes so it can be a challenging race to keep up. :-)<br/><br/>Anne: *blushes* Aww, thank you Anne. It's amazing how important it is to hear that from time to time.<br/><br/>Natasha: Those are fantastic strengths to build from Natasha. I think it's all a lot of trial and error but it's the best way we learn. :-)<br/><br/>Thank you Blink! It's great to see you here and I think it's wonderful to find other writers who share these strengths. Finding inspiration is something that becomes easier with practice. You have to fight down the Little Loop thoughts that crush your ideas. It's not that you have none it's that the little filter in your head keeps telling you what you do have is no good. That's simply not true. From even the smallest idea you could create something magical if you plant the seeds to let that thought grow. Thanks Michele! Tech-Savvy comes with learning and practice.

I guess I share the tech-savvy strength. Apart from that, a feel for how words sound together, a fascination for what it to means to be human, and a willingness to work. The rest comes from that - and a lot of trial and error along the way. That’s eight great strengths there, and I’m enjoying reading your writing! I guess I share the tech-savvy strength.

No wonder you can't imagine doing anything else! I’ve read enough of your writing to know that you’re gifted and skilled in putting words, sentences and paragraphs together, so I don’t know what insecurities you should have.

All the traits you list are critical to having an understanding of people sufficient to write about them.

Well done. No wonder you can’t imagine doing anything else!

I enjoyed it very much, and feel that we write for many of the same reasons and have some of the same strengths (except I'm not that "tech-savvy" but I'm trying!) ha ha!<br/><br/>Smiles,<br/>Michele Great post, Rebecca!
