We all need this reminder from time to time! It's a tough journey for writers to become published. We tend to focus on the stories that are anomalies- J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer... Instead, we need to have reality checks from time to time and remember that the worthwhile achievements are never easily attained.

ReplyDeleteSo true. We must all be persistent or we won't get published.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote. We need to reread it at the beginning of each day; then go to work rewriting.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of another personal favorite:
ReplyDelete"The sweet is never as sweet without the sour."
I read about your new YA novel - sounds like a fun read! Good luck!
