I bel...I completely agree. Except for one point...<br /><br />I believe that if you (and all of us dedicated writers) continue to work hard and expand and grow, you will see your work in print. <br /><br />I think we have to believe--and I certainly believe that if I just keep pounding toward this goal, I will be an agented and published author. And, darn it, you should believe that you will be too.Heidi Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056627400336997554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-66210665691774648712011-09-29T15:00:11.639-07:002011-09-29T15:00:11.639-07:00Humility and patience indeed.

You are an awesome writer, and it will pay off. Thanks for the great goals. <br /><br />One of mine, would just be to devote more quality time to my writing. ;0)Jenny S.

(Not your fault, though--I used to have other people inflate my ego. It's not difficult to do.)<br /><br />So yeah. I also need to let go of all this author jealousy and bitterness. Because we all know I've got plenty of that...Francesca Zappiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16876692064254806825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-10909386960068007322011-09-28T04:31:51.465-07:002011-09-28T04:31:51.465-07:00You have a great attitude.

Humility is something we all have to accept, and it's hard when you are a go-getter, goal-driven person like yourself. <br /><br />Sounds like you have the right frame of mind in thinking about your writing. Find that good crit group and stick with it. But be true to yourself, too.<br /><br />L'shanah tovah!<br /><br />(I hope I got that right.)Ronald L.
