I've been published a few times on the internet but am now trying to get my first PB published. I know the feeling of "what's the use, I may as well give up" all too well. But I keep plugging away at it. It is a curvy, jerky road, isn't it? Never give up on your dreams! Good luck to you!Deb Hockenberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922483863371643275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082841708976766505.post-46052200432416295482011-10-07T12:46:11.572-05:002011-10-07T12:46:11.572-05:00Gosh!

Good news is all the twists & turns of writing books that will never be finished has led me to my current WIP which has a first draft completed. Long story short - the journey is well worth it if you're learning along the way.<br />Blessings,<br />J.

It's exactly how I feel. I think I've gone off the curve a time too many both with writing and weight loss, or 'healthy living,' as I'm trying to think of it now. I've started Julia Cameron's "The Write Diet" several times to combine the two, but have even been derailed there. So yes, without the internet and sometimes personal emails from writing friends I know from blogs, loops, forums, workshops, chats, I truly do not believe I'd still be harboring this dream.<br /><br />Thank you for posting about your curvy journey. And congratulations on your publications. I, too, sometimes wonder if I'll ever publish a romance, but unlike you, I haven't come to terms yet with publishing something different, even if what I write isn't always romance.<br />JulieJulie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.com
