Plus I blog with a dual purpose of entertaining readers while proving my writing abilities. I noticed none of your street signs said "Easy Street". Maybe that's because it doesn't exist.Audry Fryerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576125527238410629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866395397797903293.post-42277482797923149262011-03-15T13:31:06.525-04:002011-03-15T13:31:06.525-04:00Thank you Bessie, and thank you too for your encou...Thank you Bessie, and thank you too for your encouragement.

Secondly, you already show you have the attributes I spoke about, faith and patience, keep believing in your story and it will be told one day. <br />I look forward to next week's post too and hope I can help shed some light on the self-publishing world for it is indeed becoming very exciting!<br />Talk to you next week and keep that chin up!

It's dark and a bit scary. <br /><br />I have an agent working with me, but today we received our 4th rejection from the publishing houses. So there you go. Still hanging in there, but odds are that my novel will not be picked up. But I keep my chin up. <br /><br />I look forward to your post on self-publishing because that just may be the route I have to take. The thought of starting all over again from scratch is weighing on me. I'm tired. Oh wait, I;m supposed to have my chin up :)Angela Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488555961691093024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866395397797903293.post-57856960032129534762011-03-14T17:28:58.385-04:002011-03-14T17:28:58.385-04:00Stacey, thank you so much for the comments and all...Stacey, thank you so much for the comments and all I have to say to you is, "Go for it!" When you have time, check out some of my earlier post in 2010 about how I got started and some sites that helped me along in my journey. Good luck, and I can't wait to hear about your first fiction manuscript! :)Efi Loo Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344151113479309251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866395397797903293.post-36955264155539502452011-03-14T16:48:22.056-04:002011-03-14T16:48:22.056-04:00I completely enjoyed this post.

But I am often plagued by low writing self-esteem, so I haven't even tried my hand at writing fiction in quite sometime.<br /><br />After reading this post...I think I'm ready now :-)Stacey Donaldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817323384308051440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866395397797903293.post-78482086445848767332011-03-14T15:53:10.330-04:002011-03-14T15:53:10.330-04:00Bessie, thank you for the nice comments.

I do believe self-publishing can be a tool to add to your writer's resume and I have been meeting many self-published authors which are paving the way for the rest of us to follow. I can't wait to read your book, Holly's Story, I know it will be excellent!Efi Loo Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344151113479309251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866395397797903293.post-2372044862955925542011-03-14T15:34:39.797-04:002011-03-14T15:34:39.797-04:00Even though I am self-publishing, I am taking the ...Even though I am self-publishing, I am taking the time to be sure that what I publish isn't garbage by having an editor edit my work, hiring a graphic designer to get a nice, professional looking cover, and proofreading like a madwoman to be sure there are no errors in the final product. <br /><br />No, it's not easy, but if I want to be published AND taken seriously, it's what I have to do.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post!Bessie Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339843544662378814noreply@blogger.com
