I love reading your stuff as well. You have a very unique voice. Keep at it!<br /><br />Jan, you are such a wonderful friend. Thank you for your encouragement and support. It means so very much to me.<br /><br />It's not so much "winning the lottery" that I'm looking for, but more a steady progression of events. When nothing is moving or happening, and no one is nibbling at the queries I have out in the world (even outright rejections let me know where I stand), I go stir crazy. <br /><br />I'm only now realizing this about myself, but this revelation will help me in the lean times to understand that it's all part of the process, and if I accept it, everything will be a little easier to bear.<br /><br />You are right about focusing on the successes, and so far, my mantra of "I will, I will, I will" is really helping for this day. <br /><br />Thank you both for your encouragement. I really needed it today, and you have buoyed my hope and spirit significantly.Julianne Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193190579330681002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223219505227837036.post-80899513347259392692010-06-23T08:33:52.490-06:002010-06-23T08:33:52.490-06:00I know that you are so anxiously awaiting a respon...I know that you are so anxiously awaiting a response for your screenplay and I know that waiting for anything so important is hard, but try to focus on the things that you are having success with right now- magazine articles, your online magazine articles, your men"s webpage, your short stories, your blog, your creative writing class, your writer's group....<br />We all want the "lottery", so to speak but sometimes we have to remember that it will take many tickets and small wins to eventually win the big one.<br />I have faith in you and your writing. You are a fantastic writer and your topics are ones that many can relate to. I truly believe that you will have success writing and you will be in a place that you are so pleased with where you've ended up. <br />It might not be today or tomorrow or even this screenplay, but you've got many days ahead of you and I'm certain that you have many more ideas floating around in that brilliant head of yours. One of those ideas is your winning ticket!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221780120338522194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223219505227837036.post-34654737953464799182010-06-23T08:01:07.659-06:002010-06-23T08:01:07.659-06:00I very much relate to you in this, Julianne, so th...I very much relate to you in this, Julianne, so thank you for your reflections on this... By the way, I love the way you write, and you clearly have much talent. I've only just begun to blog and am thoroughly enjoying it. It's nice to read and learn from a more seasoned blogger! :-)Rachael Barhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744358601855954856noreply@blogger.com
