It is truly inspiriting to hear of a writer’s persistence paying off. We write because we have a story to share, even if it has an underlying message to your readers. We certainly don’t do it for the money or fame, because many of us may never attain that, but to see your words in print and know that someone else “gets” the story you are telling…..means everything. Good job!

So far not so good. I’m about to give up because I can’t afford to keep submitting my work for rejection.
