@saritafrutilla @impephop @IF_SouthAfrica "It's good to have several people proofread, because our eyes get used to fill in the words that we expect to see." @saritafrutilla

@saritafrutilla @impephop @IF_SouthAfrica "Getting negative comments on your poems does not mean you are a bad writer, does not mean your book doesn’t deserve to be published and does not mean your stories are not good. It is just part of the process!" @saritafrutilla
