Writing on the blog is writing and yes it does count. I'm not writing for anyone else but myself so yeah, I shouldn't worry so much.<br /><br />Elana: Isn't that a great list. I'm trying to teach perseverance to my son right now. Boy howdy, didn't know it would be such hard work. :)<br /><br />Kate: Thanks. I'm trying to get back into a schedule of sorts and get caught up.<br /><br />Annie: Thanks. I'm trying not to put the cart before the horse right now and just concentrate on writing. Thanks for the book suggestion. Will definitely get it.Robin Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765229264945106765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-14121833304828952312009-08-06T10:24:22.202-07:002009-08-06T10:24:22.202-07:00Don't feel discouraged or foolish! You say you...Don't feel discouraged or foolish! You say you've been writing away and enjoying it, so just enjoy it. If you want to get published, that's fine, but all in good time, right? I think we all know by now that publishing is a difficult journey, so if you can love the writing, and if it can become as important and satisfying to you as reading is, then I think that's what really counts. That's how I want to be with writing, too.<br /><br />To feel really in love with writing, I suggest you read If You Want to Write by Brenda Ueland. It was first published in 1938 so sounds a bit dated, but oh my gosh, did it make me feel thrilled to be a writer.Annie Loudenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13008836459417708235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7701102306051247517.post-37821019954893113592009-08-05T13:19:59.314-07:002009-08-05T13:19:59.314-07:00Love your fake book cover!

But to me, your post was inspirational. Doesn't this count as successful writing? Does writing only count if it's with agents and publishers?Margothttp://joyfullyretired.comnoreply@blogger.com
