"Eeeep", is right. I'm afraid to look!

If you do that, edit & redraft properly, then submit it to the appropriate publishers, you actually have a good chance of publication. Knowing that it's more about hard work than luck is really comforting for me.

She immediately informed my mother that I needed serious counseling. Except for school assignments, I never showed anyone anything again until I began writing seriously in my 40's. Reminds me of that line in "The Sixth Sense" - "They don't have meeting about rainbows."<br /><br />Congrats, Alice. We should all ignore our nagging doubts (and negative comments) and just go for it! It's a much happier existence.Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-44654420326757244412010-03-22T13:45:44.581-04:002010-03-22T13:45:44.581-04:00Thanks for making me laugh and dishing out inspira...Thanks for making me laugh and dishing out inspiration at the same time.
