I just want it to be simple. And it’s not. Life, I mean.
Obtaining goals. Maybe it is and I just don’t see it.
Today is the day I decide once again to continue to write.
The truth is… it’s not really a choice. It’s an integral part of who I am.
Sometimes I just want to lay it down. Let it go. But I can’t.
Pursuing publishing in the digital age is like pulling out fingernails.
It was always hard…even before the age of electronic submissions but now… Geez…
you have to be a one man/woman marching band, all the while twirling your
baton, turning cartwheels, playing the tuba and singing Dixie. I know I could
self-publish but I choose not to. At least not today.
By the way, I have a new feature on my Blog that shall be
called “Book of the Month.” Ta Da….. So this month it shall be:
This novel starts with a harrowing birth scene that really
rocked me back on my heels but I stuck with it because of the incredible
writing. It has turned out to be one of the mostsatisfying books I have ever
read. Highly, highly recommend.
So, I will persist. Maybe it’s just as simple as that. Simply
persist.
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the
world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are
omnipotent.”
-Calvin Coolidge
