I updated her on my writing and waiting and she mentioned just even getting an editor's attention at all is so much farther than most writers ever get. That really put it in perspective. Finishing a book is more than many do. Writing another one is another milestone. Landing an agent is another step further. Getting any kind of positive rejection is another achievement. Starting the world's best blog is another one. Presenting at a conference is another step forward. Every step forward is not a step backward! You will get there and you will have a great platform in place and a great story to share in your author visits and conference presentations. I believe in you.

I should have had that third piece of good news already! Maybe they're saving it as a Christmas present or something. *shrugs*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174984023086255056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492973571637666355.post-92067658642820458252010-11-18T20:51:38.788-08:002010-11-18T20:51:38.788-08:00I'm excited for you, too, although I am still ...I'm excited for you, too, although I am still waiting for your good news to happen in threes. Maybe that's three weeks, one week per blessed event?KAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492662417610004495noreply@blogger.com
