  • Well put, Thank You.
  • Good thoughts exactly! I, too, am looking for a WOW!
  • I am not concerned much with getting a rejection letter b/c for me, just putting the thoughts on paper and watching the story grow gives me a great sense of accomplishment even if it's only one sentence that day. Sometimes the next day may bring a whole page of writing! The important thing for me is to not set standards, like maybe two pages a day, because if the story is not flowing, I don't push it b/c that takes away from the joy of writing and therefore, there goes my feeling of accomplishment.
  • That's good advice- Thank YOU...
  • My family won't talk to me anymore because my fiction book is too true! They threatened to sue me even though I changed names and places. I do have a loving husband who encourages me though. My first book More Miserable in Green Valley Ranch should be published sometime this month through Xlibris. Can't wait!
