It certainly is. Climb over the sorrow and get back to work! I’m still licking my wounds over a rejected piece. But I’m also plotting how to make it a better one.
The act of writing sends you soaring and plummeting. Pages that come easily are apt to be received easily, which is likely what many want..
This could be an urban myth. The source was secondary. But I”m very fond of a quote attributed to Mark Twain: “I no more want ‘everyone’ to love my writing than I want everyone to love my daughters.”
If the quote is genuine or not, I doubt it’s a favorite of publishers. Yet if true, they’d reject Mark Twain.
Kurt here to let you know that I am breaking free from publishing’s Amazon Overlord by building a store to sell my books directly to you. Currently I am in test mode and my ebooks may be free for a time. If you feel so inclined, please help me ensure all selection and ordering processes are easy and error free by purchasing the free books and then letting me know how it goes by writing a review, right here, at my site! And while at it, how about telling me what you think of the books too! Paperback and hardcover editions are coming soon.✌🏻 Dismiss

And that’s why I’m avoiding it. All I have left to write is the pain.
The writing, as much as it pains, is the release. Write on, Susan, and be well.
