I have come to realize that no one will ever read them but my grandkids, but I've also come to accept that that's good enough. Those early days were great, though, when I really believed that Steven King was in imminent danger of losing his crown to the new master. An irreplaceable time that can never be recaptured...Jack Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030471723776022615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-46301685279156996002011-04-23T10:48:40.372-06:002011-04-23T10:48:40.372-06:00Sorry it took me so long to respond to all these c...Sorry it took me so long to respond to all these comments!!<br /><br />Read-I'm glad!! You definitely should. :)<br /><br />Candice-So true. Part of me hates that I outline now. I miss those days of just jumping into a story and going where ever my imagination takes me.<br /><br />Sarah-Yes, staying realistic can help, I think. Crushed expectations are part of what makes this road so hard. <br /><br />Kasie-So true. I know friends are the only thing that have brought me out of the pits.<br /><br />Jenn-It's hard to see friends struggle, but at the same time, it's fun to see them triumph. If ya know what I mean. :)<br /><br />Kathi-So true. Believing is really the only way. As hard as it is sometimes, we just have to keep going. <br /><br />University and Shari-Thanks! :)<br /><br />Michelle-True!<br /><br />Chantele-Hope really does spring eternal, doesn't it? I'm glad for it. The world could be pretty bleak without that.<br /><br />Littlejohn-Thanks :)<br /><br />Marlee-Thank you so much!

Friends are priceless. I hope things work out for her! <br />I still believe as well. Even on those downer days. I'll always still believe. :)Chantele Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-50174982915251779002011-04-19T09:53:47.469-06:002011-04-19T09:53:47.469-06:00I agree that seeing our friends suffer can hurt ju...I agree that seeing our friends suffer can hurt just as much for us.

But I still believed and finally my dream came true.

In general, I've coped with just trying to stay brutally real about my chances. But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, or that it isn't hard to believe on some days. That's what makes friends who understand so priceless!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636585111057799728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-12935378299112676172011-04-18T14:02:55.140-06:002011-04-18T14:02:55.140-06:00Perfect!

I was just thinking the other day how much I used to love sitting and my computer and writing without thinking about all the things I think about now. It was pure expression. Now it's expression morphed with strategy and work. It's not a bad thing, but so different. <br /><br />But no matter how far along you are in the publishing process, disappointments can hurt so badly. Some can even be a bit understandably)soul crushing at the time they happen. Thank goodness for those who can help us through.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658962630981643176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-596841536992827351.post-81622463305252569572011-04-18T13:47:11.942-06:002011-04-18T13:47:11.942-06:00CHERRISHING!CHERRISHING!Aurora Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683985157118597158noreply@blogger.com
