It's so easy to feel alone, trapped on an island of despair, while struggling on the path of writing. Realizing that the island is actually a nation unto itself is reassuring. *smile* We Are Not Alone! Every writer struggles, so we're in good company. :-D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, my dear.<br /><br />--ChironChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350218547511690377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-37754547825720795192009-12-29T12:24:26.672-08:002009-12-29T12:24:26.672-08:00Hi Miss Mae!

We fall in love with an idea, enjoy a brief flourish of a honeymoon, then have to settle down to the real job of making the relationship work. :-D "for better or for worse" <br /><br />Keep plugging away, Miss Mae, that inspiration will peek in again! <br /><br />--ChironChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350218547511690377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-88300387614555956912009-12-26T15:36:28.929-08:002009-12-26T15:36:28.929-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-50753968002200295712009-12-23T13:45:00.203-08:002009-12-23T13:45:00.203-08:00Hi, Chiron! Nice to see your motivational blog up....Hi, Chiron! Nice to see your motivational blog up. I lvoe the stories about famous people and all those rejections. Sometimes, that's the only thing that keep me going. I've had a good year over all, but mixed in were some disappointments. So be it. Unlike most everyone else. my Christmas time is very quiet and all mine--and my hubby's. We have to do everything early, so that when Christmas week rolls around, he and I are free to stay home and do our own thing. I have a complete agenda laid out for the next several days--inbetween watching Christ mas movies--I'm making a list and checking off each thing I finish. It feels so good!!!<br />Thanks--CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-17529954824284940012009-12-23T13:19:53.003-08:002009-12-23T13:19:53.003-08:00Boy, that quote from John Hersey is me!

To be a write...Hi Kathy!<br /><br />Wow, I love that quote. <br /><br />To be a writer requires a commitment to our characters and it really can feel like we're letting them down if their stories aren't read! That's where we must hold true to that vision, eh? Once you break through the wall, all those stories that wouldn't get picked up before are part of your soon-to-be-published catalog. Woo-hoo!<br /><br />I do believe you'll find that your dreams manifest, Kathy. You have the commitment, the visibility AND The Voice. You WILL make it happen. <br /><br />Wishing you a Very Inspired week of writing, my dear!<br /><br />--ChironChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350218547511690377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-45071878129151161632009-12-21T07:50:08.418-08:002009-12-21T07:50:08.418-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084335004747861291.post-5437398155915515052009-12-20T12:38:36.038-08:002009-12-20T12:38:36.038-08:00Great stuff, as always.

I read a quote the other day that said, "It's easy to quit during the first 10 years."<br /><br />The worse part about rejections is the frustration of wanting so badly for certain characters to be seen and heard. Some characters just won't sit on the computer until they've had their day. And that horrible feeling that not enough people - or the right people - will ever get what you're trying to say.<br /><br />You have to believe, like many before you, that one day it will happen. Thanks, Chiron!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
