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.
