Have you ever wondered about this?

 

Good morning,everyone,  have you ever thought about this? Everyojne has a challenge of some sort. Maybe  you have a physical impairment, like I do. Maybe you have a mental disability of some sort. Or perhaps you need a major attitude adjustment because  you're rarely pleased about anything. Thje attitude issue could be because you're a perfectionist. My dad was so he was not easily pleased. There are also many people who are always complaining about one thing or another. In my humble opinion, no one has everything they want so you make the best of the talents you have and you can choose to be grateful for them. Keep in mind if you are constantly complaining, it doesn't only affect you. Everyone around you will feel the same way so you'll become a clan of grumpy folks. Is that what you want?

How do you remedy this problem? You might make a list of things you are pleased about because it will help you focus on posiitive things. You could also surround yourself with those you support  you and your goals. You don't have goals? Set some and write them down. Read the list each day. Plan how you can accomplish each goal. I bet before long you 'll start acheiving things and building a path toward your dreams. Do you feel better already?

What if you're discouraged?



banner by Rhonda Patton

What if you're an author who's feeling discouraged? Maybe you're struggling to finish (or even start) a story?  What if you don't have any ideas for a story? Has marketing been a challenge? Your story was rejected? Here are some suggestions:
  • Let's say you're looking for an idea for a great story. Did you have funny or memorable experiences as a child? Did you have a relative you always made you laugh or who gave you amazing advice? You can use these things as a basis for a story. Start writing and see where it takes you. Remember, starting is often the hardest part.
  • In my view, marketing is the biggest challenge. Try engaging more people on your twitter or Facebook network. Be as helpful as you can with them. Retweet for them, or post reviews for them. They'll generally appreciate your efforts. If you wrote a children's picture book, contact the local library about doing a reading. Find ways to get people talking about your book.
  • If your story or article was rejected, try re-editing it. How is the grammar and spelling? Did you miss typos? Are the tenses consistent? Have you included enough conflict to keep the reader turning pages? If you find any of these problems and remedy them, you'd be surprised the difference it can make in your story.r
  • Read your story aloud. How does it sound to you? Do you hear overused  words like that, I guess, maybe, somewhat, rather, very? If you find them, delete them. You'll be glad you did.
I hope these suggestions help encourage you to persevere. In my opinion, perseverance plays a big part on the road to success.
