Joanne Orion Miller commented on Kamy Wicoff's article Surviving Criticism, One Step At A Time

September 2013

Exceptional piece on crits--I sent it to all my writer friends. Every one of us has experienced those feelings of rejection and "not being good enough". I wish there was an easier way to be an artist, but this is part of the firewalk, isn't it?

Joanne Orion Miller commented on Laura Brennan's article Talking for Writers

March 2012
