Except life doesn't slow down. So I committed to treating my goal like it was "real" (which i wouldn't admit to anyone but myself that it was very, very real.) Now that I have a book coming out, people are finding out that I'm a writer and their reactions are always the same: "I didn't know you were a writer." There's so much competition and rejection in this industry, and I couldn't bare the thought of telling them what I wanted (to be published)because them I'd likely have to tell them about my stack of rejection letters. Bless those treasured few we can confide in that stoke our fires from the deepest embers. thank you so much for posting this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761957626470404637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-67662752065407003392012-10-17T05:40:24.923-07:002012-10-17T05:40:24.923-07:00Oh I love that story.

When I was first trying to get published, a good friend of mine told me: "Maybe this isn't the book that's going to get you there." And she was so right. She inspired me to work on new projects, and one of them finally clicked.Anna Staniszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316883819771607655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-49549543698266834482012-10-16T16:07:06.594-07:002012-10-16T16:07:06.594-07:00No, and I did try.
