I think all successes of writers, big or small are celebratory. :) And getting accepted by a small press is a BIG accomplishment. It's awesome for writers to have people like you in their corner. I think we all need to support each other in our journeys. Commiserate, celebrate, learn, teach, just help in any way we can to help ourselves and others achieve our goals.<br /><br />Walter.

And in a way it did. A small press accepted my book and I feel very fortunate and lucky.I take the time to support other authors as they do the Big Search whether it's for an agent or publisher.ggrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794262315030983630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-3146655360118212622010-03-16T18:21:29.055-07:002010-03-16T18:21:29.055-07:00The media is always telling us to be jealous of wh...The media is always telling us to be jealous of what others have. Many politicans say, "Tax the rich!" But it's all class envy politics to pander to us while they ignore us.<br /><br />I am not jealous of people like Bill Gates. More power to him for being so clever. As for this writing business, I promise that when I'm rich and famous I'll invite all of you to sail about with me to my island for a weekend get-away.<br /><br />In the mean time, I went to the casino this weekend and won $200 counting cards at the blackjack table. Check my website for how to count cards, and be happy.<br /><br />Got a dream?

It is hard, and now matter how happy I am for my friends who make it, there's that little part of me that says, "why can't it be me?"<br /><br />Just part of being human I guess.Megan Bostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811715491350987530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-84422734810723582832010-03-16T05:19:31.038-07:002010-03-16T05:19:31.038-07:00Oi!

I'm pretty much a snot when someone makes it with something that is truly sub par in my opinion (Twilight is the one I am relentless about), but I think this networking, making friends IN PROCESS helps humanize it. It is easy to think someone doesn't deserve it who you'll never meet, but much HARDER to resent someone you KNOW (especially after watching them work hard). So expanding my network helps guide me to better behavior... or so I hope.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-44255471288055636102010-03-15T20:26:31.864-07:002010-03-15T20:26:31.864-07:00Jealousy is a very tough one for me, especially wh...Jealousy is a very tough one for me, especially when it does seem like everywhere I turn someone else is getting another book contract. It's a destructive emotion and I try to work through it when it shows up, however difficult that may be.<br /><br />Here's to beating the green monster and getting a damn book contract soon!Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900796131446856656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054176333123768144.post-65568414371916053392010-03-15T19:51:57.475-07:002010-03-15T19:51:57.475-07:00I totally agree.

The only thing that bad energy fosters is more bad energy... boy I sound like a hippie.<br /><br />PEACE!! lol... ;)B. Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112783922833164491noreply@blogger.com
