That can be difficult sometimes. I know this. But I also know that my perseverance will pay off. It may not be tomorrow, although it would be nice. It may not come next week, month, or year. I am not wearing blinders. But, as Billy Joel told me to do, I will be keeping the faith.
What else can I do? There is absolutely nothing else in the world I would rather do. Even if I hit it big in the lottery (which we don't have one, have to go north), I would spend all my time writing. Granted, it may be at a beach resort, or as I am waiting for the riders of the Tour de France to swing into the last loops at Champs-Elysees, or wherever, I will be writing.
I can't stop now. It's like an addiction. I have to write. I have to edit my writing. I have to tinker with it. I have to let the stories flow. I have to see where they take me.
I have one novel complete and about as ready for submission as I can make it. I have the sequel a quarter of the way done. I also have three additional books started. All I have to do is sit down with a pen and paper for the ideas to start flowing. And I can't stop. I don't want to.
There is no question of me keeping the faith. The question is, will you?

My First Time
Ok, now that I have created this, I don't really know what to do with it.
First, the reason for creating it. I am doing my best to become a working writer. I want to find writer friends. I want to show the world my successes and failures. Hopefully, the failures come few and far between. I know this is a hard business to break into. I am not wearing blinders. I know there will be rejections, but for every one of them, every request will be that much sweeter. I want to be able to help other writers to achieve their writing dreams.
My love affair with books started when I was a child and helped me overcome a sometimes brutal childhood. Unfortunately, they also played a big part in my grades. It was hard to learn when I had my textbook open, but my current favorite novel tucked in between the pages. All my fault, I know, for not learning to set aside the escape for more academic pursuits. Oh well, that's so much water now.
And so begins this new chapter of my life. Come with me on what I am sure will be a magic carpet ride.
Much love,
S. Yarns
