I also never thought I'd work so hard. "Newbie" writers think that once you've published, the work is done, but the work has only just begun.<br /><br />It's worth it though - I remember the soul-sucking days of working in offices in jobs I detested and was so bored and drained . . . so, I feel very blessed and fortunate.Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-17108259385978067142010-03-20T10:42:13.707-07:002010-03-20T10:42:13.707-07:00Thank you Terri, for your comment on my blog and b...Thank you Terri, for your comment on my blog and becoming a follower.

Picking up the threads wasn't easy.<br /><br />The Scripture comes back to me about Peter, who declared he'd follow Jesus to the death. Well, he didn't at that point in time. Eventually, he did. <br /><br />I don't want to boast of the future. Today is all I have. This minute. All I can do is keep my eyes on the Lord, and follow Him one step at a time.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

WHEN am I really going to get serious and start trying to be a serious writer? I don't think I'm willing to take enough chances on myself. I blame it on not enough time, bigger priorities, a new baby coming, having to be the sole breadwinner in the family...you name it. At some point, I just have to figure it all out!<br /><br />So, I guess to answer it truthfully right now, I'd have to say I'm not willing to go too far.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033873209155596679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-90629360177462377742010-03-17T07:59:31.060-07:002010-03-17T07:59:31.060-07:00This is something I've thought about A LOT lat...This is something I've thought about A LOT lately. I've come to realize that the dream of writing for publication is inside so many godly, believing people--and yet, there's only so many spots. How far WILL I go, knowing that the odds are that my precious crit partners are the only ones who will read my work?

Rejection doesn't seem to deter me, non-recognition doesn't seem to slow me down now, and the fact that my biological clock is ticking away does concern me, but hasn't stopped me.
