Never Let A Manuscript…
“You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you’re working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success – but only if you persist.”
– Isaac Asimov

I need to take these words to heart.
Too often I’ll write something and then avoid editing it, just so that I can avoid having to send it out.

Fear holds us back if we let it. Keep Writing. 😉

Rejection is tough but you have to believe in your work.
