Because of this post I've decided to add a section where I can record the WHY I'm doing this... pursuing my writing dream. I face this wall as I type at my computer. Now it won't be just a wall to track my current WIP, but a wall to inspire me to keep pushing through the hard days.

It's been a life long passion of mine and I've been so close to publishing it hurts. I had a contract with a publisher but was then dropped along with another author right before my ARCs were due to be printed. So sad. Thanks again for the pep talk and for being my guest.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714394723532487643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187113478167673948.post-41695903219091102162011-01-07T10:34:19.415-07:002011-01-07T10:34:19.415-07:00Nice post, Michelle!

I highly suggest you read the post below that Susan links to, by the way. :)<br /><br /><b>Bridget:</b> Awww, thanks for reading them! I always feel like I'm scolding or something, but it's good to know it doesn't come off that way. I just get really frustrated that it takes me so long to realize things sometimes, and I like to share what I learn about it all.<br /><br /><b>Susan:</b> Wow, we ARE in the same vein! Marathon is right. I love it, though. I know you do, too. :)<br /><br /><b>Shari:</b> Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br /><b>Caroline:</b> Oh, that is such a good point about having something unique to say. So true. Keep going!

Whenever life got too much for me, I could turn to a scene in the novel and get so lost in the words that my problems seemed extremely insignificant. Now that I've developed a stronger, more tangible interest in getting published, my dreams have switched over to finding success in the realm of publishing. <br /><br />Also, nice blog Christine! I'm now a follower. =DTiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637471374013879840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187113478167673948.post-5538538341604792752011-01-07T07:30:44.338-07:002011-01-07T07:30:44.338-07:00Thanks for hosting me here, Christine!Thanks for hosting me here, Christine!Michelle D.
