Another new situation..
One Wednesday a month we write about things that make us feel insecure. Some days we authors have quite a collection we can lament about. For me, it's the usual problem with new things. I have a new website, childrensbookswithlifelessons.com and I write about inspiring kids, but each post also contains information on how to write good children's stories. It's a new twist on blogging. True to form, I'm having a learning curve. On Saturday, I did 50 revisions before it looked respectable. Yikes. But the next day it took about 17 edits, so we're moving in the right direction. Yay! I feel totally dopey when something new comes along because the learning curve thing is a tradition. On the positive side, I know eventually, I'll prevail and it'll be one more obstacle that's been conquered. Whenever you come across a difficult task, remember that you will prevail if you persevere. The only time you fail is if you quit. Perseverance is always the key to success.

Totally agree, the only failure is giving up. Good luck with your website :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. I hope you stop by to check it out some time. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYep. Giving up guarantees failure. Glad you're not doing that.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not doing that, C. Lee! ) I hope you stop by my website sometime, because I write about inspirational kids there. I think you'd like it. www.childrensbookswithlifelessons.com.
DeleteDeanie, you've got the right attitude! Just keep trying and persevering - that's all we can do, even if the road is tough.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about that, Julie. None of us can get anywhere without trying. But the good thing is when you are rewarded after your hard work, you feel like you've done something important.
DeleteThank you so much for stopping by. I hope you visit my website as well, because I write about inspiring kids there.

Perseverance is certainly the key to success. The only way we can fail, is by giving up. I needed to hear that today. Thanks, Deanie. :)
ReplyDeleteI know you're going through a very difficult time, Candilynn. But, since you will prevail, you will reap the rewards for your work eventually. It makes the victory a little sweeter, too.
DeleteWe writers are all perfectionists are we? I'm proud of you for sticking with it. Good Luck on your new website.

DeletePerseverance is the key! And a dose of positivity helps too!
ReplyDeleteYou're correct, Michelle, being positive is also a big benefit!)
DeleteThe learning curve really is a tradition, glad your revisions and edits are coming along…no matter how many times you had to do it, as long as you do it, you're good! Hugs ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Katherine. It's annoying not to get it right the first time, but at least we're going in the right direction. Hugs back to you ox
DeleteStay positive, Deanie. It will all work out.
ReplyDeleteIt's the only way to be, Susanne. ) Hope you're having a great weekend.
