On "Being Good Enough".

I just read a post on Shannon Messenger's blog, which has described how I've been feeling lately.

Like I'll never be good enough. That no one will ever publish me again because my writing sucks. Or I'm not active enough online.

I know I have a book published, but my writing journey is still beginning. I know how it feels to want something so bad only to be disappointed when it doesn't happen. I've queried four different books. I left my former agent and had to start from scratch to find a new one. I've been rejected hundreds of times. I had a book go on submission and not sell.

I've been there. It sucks. I know how it feels to want to throw in the towel. I still feel that way sometimes. A book deal with a big publisher would be AWESOME. But things take time. And they happen when they're supposed to. When the timing is right and all the stars align. :)

We ARE good enough. And we each have our own unique journey's. Some are hard, some are easy, some are in between. But we all have them. So, go read this post. It's awesome. And if you're having a hard time and you're thinking about giving up, don't do it. You're not alone.
