It's true that if you're not enjoying the writing of the story, readers probably aren't going to enjoy reading it. I'm in a frustrated phase (again). Maybe I need to do some work on erasing my short term memory so I can get back to chasing my dream.Maegan Langerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335946908481515797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033289960695408196.post-48186982184435375612011-06-02T20:21:53.269-06:002011-06-02T20:21:53.269-06:00What an awesome blog, so happy I found them.

A goal, a book, a blog...haha.<br />You're right, I read your advice to mean the same as "do not be distracted by your failures or shortcomings, but to go forth with determination and persistence." Yay! This post came at the right time for me, I have just conquered a major goal in my life and I cried for the first time the tears of joy!Self Sagacityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404148735941132540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033289960695408196.post-85876953537172671822011-06-01T17:37:42.311-06:002011-06-01T17:37:42.311-06:00Great post!

There will be days where nothing seems to be going in the direction you want it, but you will be rewarded in the end. However, for writers, like athletes who train for years, the end is not tomorrow, or the next day, or even the day after that. The reward could be years away. Keep going, keep writing, keep digging into those emotions....for your gold medal will come one day soon.MANDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05800095381006564218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9033289960695408196.post-89512615429462921962011-06-01T05:34:25.106-06:002011-06-01T05:34:25.106-06:00Great advice!
