I keep reminding myself I must write daily and send my manuscripts with the consistency of the sun rising and setting. This I do.
I continue reading. I’m reading speculative fiction, the Bible, Steve Jobs biography, a historical fiction novel set Virginia during the US Civil War, and nonfiction military history. I also am listening to a number of podcasts. They include: “I Should Be Writing”, “The Drabblecast”, “The Writer’s Almanac”, and “Writing Excuses”.
I had one speculative fiction short story rejected. I continue writing and editing my historical fiction book.
I was encouraged when I received an update from Candace Have Online Writer’s Workshop Chat Group today. It has the story of one member of the group who after over 400 rejections sold her first book, followed by two more and then a series.
Hold on tight to you dreams, but keep writing and learning.
