Thank you for this inspiring post! Cheryl Strayed's advice rings so true to me because she grounds her optimism for a bright future with reality about the hard work that future will require. Plus she leaves me feeling capable of both the hard work and success. I loved the post and the video.

In reply to dholcomb1. Yes, Denise! Don't let the rejections stop you. Press on. It only takes a single yes.

In reply to LIsa Ciarfella. Lisa, I am going through the same renaissance! She expressed that the pain of not writing her novel became greater than her worry of what would come out of her. That's where I'm at, and we shall write on...like the magnificent motherfuckers we are. :-)

9. Resilience...because coming back and doing it after a rejection or a loss or whatever gets in your way means you don't give up. fight the fight.

"Write like a motherfucker." She's so right! I think something's happened to me lately in terms of my writing, and this, I can blame it on! i just don't care anymore about the fear. Fear of success, fear of failure, fear of writing so bad that it stinks like my dog's business! I have to write because the opposite, living the life I dread, working a dead-end job I hate and not leaving anything with my name on it behind, well, that is the motherfucker for me! Thanks much Ms. Strayed, and WIS for reminding us all of this! Write on peeps!

In reply to Debbie Herbert. I put the mermaids in for you, my friend. :-) I'm glad you liked them. And it is so (SO) hard to be gentle with oneself. But we make something wonderful out of nothing but imagination - if we aren't gentle with ourselves, those new worlds cannot be born. Think of THAT next time you try to kick your own ass!
