S is for Stay the Course



When people tell you that writing isn't a "real" job: Stay the course

When people tell you you're too old (or too young!) to start your writing career: Stay the course

When you get another rejection on that story you believe to be wonderful: Stay the course

When people tell you how incredibly difficult it is to find an agent/get a publisher/sell your book: Stay the course

When you're not sure where the story will go next and you think that everything you wrote today might just be crap: EAT ICE CREAM! WATCH A FUNNY MOVIE! GO TO BED! Then, tomorrow when you wake up: Stay the course

  5. Yes, always keep moving forward; against all odds, repeated failures, and for a long and uninterrupted period of time with zeal and dedication... so goes yoga sutras.
