Setbacks, Success, Excuses, Oh MY! The Truth About Publishing & Myths About Muses
I love Kristen’s blog — mainly because she tells it like it is…in this case, part of the enchilada about the writing life and the stream of excellent excuses one makes NOT to write….from not having a reliable muse or support group…to not having a big enough chunk of time per day to get right down to that troublesome next chapter…ad nauseam….i also enjoy Kristen’s style…she’s REAL!

Much of any kind of success is related to attitude. We can’t control the weather, the future of publishing, the global economic conditions, but we can control our attitude. To be successful at anything, there are a few core principles we should embrace and work on every day. These are muscles of character.
We have peace, joy, patience, self-discipline. Those things are already inside of us. However, we must choose to work on them and do our part to strengthen these “character muscles” to enjoy their benefits.
