As a writer, I often feel as if I'm on the success/failure rollercoaster. One article is accepted; another is rejected. A short story with a one time payment of $100 is accepted; while another is rejected. One blog is highly commented on; another is never noted.So for the next few days on my blog, I will be giving myself and other writers a "pep" talk. I hope the quotes, videos, and stories encourage you as they have me.
