Writer's Mantra

1. It is inevitable, if I keep trying, that someday I'll be published. A professional is an amateur who didn’t quit.
2. I won't take rejection personally. Each rejection is one step closer to publication. Most rejections have nothing to do with how good the writing is.
3. I will have faith in my work, but always remain open to suggestion and change.
4. I will keep writing, keep submitting, keep marketing, and never surrender. Ultimately, getting published rests squarely on one person’s shoulders–mine.
