But I guess that's why they call it a dream, right? Life would be no fun without dreams.

I loved that song. Never gave it much thought until now. As a published author, I've seen both sides of the road, unpublished and published. It's a little disheartening to realize that life really doesn't change. Not unless you're the next Stephen King maybe. <br /><br />I remember clearly longing with all my heart to be published. I prayed hard and long day after day, year after year. I don't want to diminished anyone else's dreams, but there comes a time when one has to decide if writing is fulling a publishing dream, or if writing itself is living the dream. <br /><br />LOL, sorry, didn't mean to go on so long. I think dreams are fine as long as your self-worth isn't tied up too tightly in them.Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986859118996444922.post-92122398102646989422010-01-11T16:39:01.047-05:002010-01-11T16:39:01.047-05:00This is a wonderful article Katie.

Every submission has to ride on it's own merits, and rejections are just part of being a writer. I was once told by a teacher that we should be sent rejection bricks,instead of papers, so at the end of the year we could all build a house, instead of papering our walls. You are an inspiration to your readers.

They are all with the smaller epubs. This is all right...but now my dream is bigger. I want an agent. I want the BIG publishers...but I still get those darn rejections. Oh, they tell me they like my writing, but the story doesn't fit. (grumbles) Then make it fit! lol So these words of Andy Williams definitely ring true for me!<br /><br />~Phyllis~Phyllis Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769290385657892832noreply@blogger.com
