But, your totally right about the fact that if nothing else, we need to sit down and MAKE time to write. I'm not as good about this as I should be. loved your M post. *waving*<br><a href="http://a2zmommy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">A2ZMommy and What’s In Between</a>Tracy Bermeohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03615611919340469444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-51269177130013473612012-04-16T17:31:19.490-06:002012-04-16T17:31:19.490-06:00They aren't ALL hard and fast.

I don't have a writing group, per se, but I do have a bunch of CPs who write in various genres, including my own. And while I and my book both break a few rules, and it was rejected by a fair amount of agents, it will be traditionally published in October. <br><br>The thing is, you can't go into publishing with a bunch of unrealistic goals and ideals. You have to work hard, learn fast, and never give up applying both to your dream, and know that every path to publication is different.Nancy Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-55212048137348093382012-04-16T14:23:01.693-06:002012-04-16T14:23:01.693-06:00This is sobering advice!

I've found myself on the wrong side of these a few times (like the writing a book but not writing for weeks... sad but true).<br><br>Critique groups are very helpful. I've been a part of a couple, and I'm still looking for the right fit. but it helps knowing you're not a lonely little writing island!Stephscohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-90478368676075116572012-04-16T12:08:16.049-06:002012-04-16T12:08:16.049-06:00Good advice.

Betas are nice, but it's better to be part of a unified whole, I think.Jasmine Walthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01802723505443235517noreply@blogger.com
