Allison,

So true. Often, age is not maturity. I don’t mind having a conversation with teenagers and learn something from them.

I think we have to be honest with ourselves, trust ourselves, and be ready to learn from everyone and everything — what to do and what not to do.

As writers we can learn from other creators — they borrow things from one another.

For me, I think it’s too early for you to face accusations — - distractions.

Well done. Keep doing what you do best!
