We (my family--there are 7 of us) will be praying for your surgery to go well and for you to be back in your driver's seat ASAP! <br /><br />Blessings, <br /><br />Gina Loudon<br />www.drginaloudon.comDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17408722794879092668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-32660629568802896112010-03-10T16:29:30.914-05:002010-03-10T16:29:30.914-05:00Amen.

I still remember the comment that your boss said about you, Joyce: Persistent & consistent. That's the key, I think.<br /><br />Blessings for sharing.<br />Carole BCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765332646987825952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-63407805752641344682010-03-10T15:23:47.921-05:002010-03-10T15:23:47.921-05:00In some ways this is good - it forces those of us ...In some ways this is good - it forces those of us who persevere to trust the Lord and continue to improve our craft. Since I have started working with Diana I have taken 2 DVD courses, read two additional books on writing and, thanks to Diana read works of fiction I would never have otherwise read - and picked up a crit partner. If I had been signed as a "midlist", I would probably have stayed a "midlist". Thanks for the encouragement and blessings for your back.<br /><br />Max LewisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-38110720300637449522010-03-10T15:14:28.061-05:002010-03-10T15:14:28.061-05:00Jeanette; I think I am going to steal your friends...Jeanette; I think I am going to steal your friends comment.

I admire you for the work you do. <br /><br />Many years ago a friend asked, "How quickly you recover from rejection and move on to the next possible victory shows the depth of your committment." I like that.Jeanette Levelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898750484193832082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-50226479978358192042010-03-10T13:40:55.225-05:002010-03-10T13:40:55.225-05:00Good advice and an excellent lesson, Joyce.

I believe I'm making a slow march toward publication, learning a great deal on the way, but I need to be reminded daily that it is not personal and that perseverance is key.Kristie Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365648170968044773noreply@blogger.com
