Good luck with your writing craft book and your writing. And, let me just say that snakes can, indeed, be fear-inspiring. I like them MUCH better when I have a safe distance! Rachna,

Complacency is the worst rut we can get into. I agree with the view that we have to keep pushing ourselves as writers. I just bought my first writing craft book and am dying to go through it. Let me tell you a secret, I am extremely scared of rattle snakes or any snakes for that matter. Hi Melissa, wonderful advice. Complacency is the worst rut we can get into.

Had no idea how to tell a male from female, but we believe he is the same one we saw stretched out further from the house a few days before. He was about 4 feet long from head to rattle. Bryan,

Males have longer, thicker tails than the females, which diamondbacks are courteous enough to measure with stripes. Generally, 5 or more stripes is a male, and 4 or less is a female.

What an experience with the rattle snake! My heart was pumping extra hard just reading about it, much less nearly stepping on one! Glad you were safe! And I couldn't agree with you more. Pushing ourselves to grow can only help to take us further. So why wouldn't we? :-) Wow! What an experience with the rattle snake!
