If we have an income goal that means marching to the computer and writing each day, submitting even while you cringe away from the possible rejection… and doing these things over and over again.

I’ve subscribed to FFW for years and have entered many of the contests and read every article. Though writing is not even close to sustaining me financially, it does provide countless forms of joy and satisfaction. You are a great inspiration! Keep it up :)

So, here I am back at square one. Thanks for sharing the info. Patience is key.

Thank you for writing this article. It has come at such an appropriate time for me. I’ve reached a point of exhaustion (I say this with love) and said to a friend today that now is not the time to back off but push harder forward. It has taken a year for me to write my business concept and to perfect the ideas. Networking at conferences, meeting people, upgrading my business Facebook page, all, and more, and keep writing, and rewriting the concept, which is based on my book that was published, “Missy Mouse Meets THom Elf” in June 2010. I’ve wanted to promote a book reading with a difference. Easy in thought, difficult in action. Mind and hands just couldn’t find their coordination for the longest time. All of a sudden I am gathering attention. It has become exciting. And I am ready to greet my new clients. Again, thank you for writing this article, it motivates and adds direction.

I can’t wait to read your new book. Congratulations on its publication.

Best regards,
Marilyn Clare
