Debbie Dadey's Blog: Congratulations! - Posts Tagged "2015"

New Year-new resolve!

I was really blessed with having three books coming out in 2015 (hope you'll win my upcoming A Tale of Two Sisters), so why was I so crushed when my latest novel was rejected by my agent? I tell myself I'm lucky and I know it's true. So why does it hurt so much? It hurts because writers pour their hearts and souls into their stories. The stories and characters become a part of them, like an arm or a leg. So when someone wants to hack it off, it's bound to hurt. But like a starfish (or sea star) I am determined to start again (regrow that appendage-fix that story). So that's my 2015 pledge-to try again! What's yours?
