Encouragement from Writers to Writers

Writers,

Writers everywhere.

Today

It seems everyone wants to be a writer.

And yet

A prominent editor and agent stated,

"There are many writers...but few good writers."

So for those who are serious--

The road to publishing may be difficult

Riddled with barriers, rejections and discouragement.

But don't give up.

With prayer, perseverance and much hard work,

We'll succeed like others--

Who have gone before us.

Madeleine L'Engle did not give up.

A Wrinkle in Time was rejected 26 times and later won The Newberry Award.

She encouraged: "Inspiration usually comes during work rather than before it."
        -- Madeleine L'Engle

The Help was rejected approximately 60 times.

Thankfully Kathryn Stockett did not give up.

                                     The Help has sold over 2  million copies, made the NY Times bestseller list for over 100 weeks and the movie grossed over $200 million.

Formerly "the dumbest kid in the class"

And a man of deep faith,
Dr. Ben Carson has accomplished the impossible
Many times over.
He became Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns-Hopkins
And was the first surgeon to separate siamese twins.
Dr. Carson has written 4 bestsellers and received 61 honorary doctorates.

He encourages:

"Successful people don't have fewer problems.
They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.” 
(--Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story)
