Your stopping point, in fact, sounds interesting, and I hope you picked up where you left off and FINISHED!<br /><br />See, there's no such thing a half-written book, or a story concept. There is only the final product.<br /><br />Nothing else counts.<br /><br />PS, if you want to post a LINK to your blog on other blog sites, post this beneath your name:<br /><br /><a href="http://lucyannwade.blogspot.com/">Lucy's Blog</a><br /><br />It'll come out like this on the web page:<br /><a href="http://lucyannwade.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lucy's Blog</a><br /><br /><br /> - Eric<br /><a href="http://diggingwiththeworms.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Blog</a>Eric W.

That's a great ...Eric, your post made me smile! That's a great attitude. I do have a little folder I keep all my rejections in, and I am sort of proud of them - at least I'm trying, which is more than I can say for some. <br />Good luck with your own writing.Lucy Ann Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024780152614835172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557815.post-22367446413025152132010-04-09T01:41:08.111+01:002010-04-09T01:41:08.111+01:00I make a GOAL of rejection slips.

I keep an Excel spreadsheet, and when I receive a rejection slip, I turn the cells GREEN!<br /><br />SUCCESS!<br /><br />I count it as a positive.<br /><br />I offer publishers right of first rejection.<br /><br />I collect rejections, and the more I collect, the happier I get!<br /><br />I count the form emails as 2 points, since they are extra-special naughty mails.<br /><br />Because you know what? I don't write for publishers, or readers, or anybody else on the planet or in this life or the next.<br /><br />I write for <i>me</i>. What do I care if someone rejects it.<br /><br />Ho-hum indeed. I have one published short story.<br /><br />Big eff, right.<br /><br />I have another one being published soon. Another big eff.<br /><br />But I have four novels I LOVE to read, working on a fifth, my friends and family love all those short stories I send them, my boss likes em, my co-workers like em, I like em...<br /><br />And you know what my publisher said to me the other day, dearest?<br /><br />He said, I don't care about the book so much. I'm looking for authors who'll get out there and SELL.<br /><br /><br /> - Eric<br /><a href="http://diggingwiththeworms.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Blog</a>Eric W.
