No, you probab...I needed that more than you know. <br /><br />No, you probably do know.

No rockstars, just regular people not giving up. So many great people in this world going unnoticed until they're successful. It shouldn't be that way. Our environment creates or limits dreams. Tell someone they're great often enough and they will be. As a community of writers we can empower each other by believing in each other. It's easy for me to say I love you, because I do. We all need it, to be noticed, to be heard, to be told we're worthy. The world is big enough for us all to be published.

Any writer that has done his/her research knows how tough it is to get published. However, I get the impression that there are more that get published than we dare to believe. I think it would be nice to hear more of their stories--whether they got the first agent they queried who sold the book in an hour, or it took 6 months to get an agent who sold it after 7 years. Either way, when writers are in the depths of self-doubt, hearing from those on the "other side" can be very encouraging.<br /><br />Just my 2-cents.Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-61720370185832845322011-08-03T11:18:54.384-04:002011-08-03T11:18:54.384-04:00Wow.
