When I did it doubt crept in and I found I couldn't focus on making my book the best it could be, I was too focused on what I wished my writing could be. I learned that new writer is not a cuss word. Being a new writer has its benefits and I better enjoy them while they last! Thanks LaSaunda!

You spend all your time wondering and before you know it, you've stopped writing. I decided to let their achievements inspire me instead. I love meeting new writers, because I know there is hope for me one day to be a NEW WRITER. If there are no new writers, then we're all writing for nothing. Much success to you and your new career. .-= -- Visit LaShaunda´s site & last blog post at: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SormagsBlog/~3/p2pOG3528Ow/celebrating-women-in-ministry-blog-tour.html" rel="nofollow">Celebrating Women in Ministry Blog Tour</a> =-. Katrina,

As a writer I knew I had to play the waiting game but I didn't learn the true lesson of patience until last year. Now as I take things slower and write at the pace that works for me I find that I get a lot more writing done, without all the craziness of comparing myself to others. Thanks Angelia!

Makes me think twice before complaining about how hard the industry is. If it was hard for me than it was even harder for them! You’re right the vets have laid the groundwork.

We do have freedom and I applaud the vets who have laid the groundwork so i can pass on through. I hope to break down a couple of doors for my authors to run through!
