Think about persistence.
Susan Banghart's article in the Fall 2015 SCBWI Bulletin says it all.
In Never Stop Believing, she writes about how for writers, "Doubt steals persistence from your toolbox." And how "You must steal it back." She writes about a way to "fight negative thoughts" and "not to do alone." She writes about critique group support and how important it is to be "fortified by your writing tribe."
Susan is such an important part of our Skyway Writers' writing tribe that her words arriving in print yesterday gave me inspiration and motivation to spend today researching agents. I'm sure she reached many other writers who might be low on their persistence levels.
Thank you Skyway Writers for being my tribe. And thank you Susan for reminding all writers to carry on and Never Stop Believing.
Thank you Teddie, for creating the Skyway Writers. Anyone who's been at this writing gig for long knows, committed, productive critique groups are a rare thing. It takes a rare leader to form and sustain one.
