Simple & August Book Selection

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
