Just read this and it’s so apt at this point. In a low on the “rolly-coaster,” and I thank the good Lord for an agent and a husband who believe in my writing, sometimes more than I do. As writers, we’re often tempted to “chuck it” and let go of our tenacity. And it requires a LOT of tenacity to get published. And I can’t even mention how helpful my family and friends and blog-followers are. Every time I hit the next ULTIMATE LOW, they’re there, rooting for me. All in all, it’s a great ride.

You wrote my philosophy, Beth. I’m completely on the same page with you. Trusting God with the tomorrows and believing he is at work even when the roller coaster is spiraling down. Walking is also my therapy…early mornings when town is quiet and I have the streets to myself, lots of time to think, pray and listen.

Well put, Lindsay. Not what we do or achieve, but being a daughter of the Most High God. I find strength in His word and in the blessings He’s given me through my family as well as my friends.

How do I get past the agent barrier wall?

Thanks.

Every phone I’ve gotten has been a hand-me-down from my son. 🙂

I had a writer’s “high” last week, followed by a “low” today. Your post reminds me to keep it all in perspective.

What helps? My faith, and knowing that God has a plan for this writing journey of mine. And, I have a wonderful, supportive family and friends who validate me as a person, as well as a writer.

I know, it’s like the lottery, isn’t it? WHAT will I do with all the loot?? I might retire and settle down and live off the interest.
