I had forgotten the power of a few words to pierce the go that is built around the first book that you write. Yes granted my writing may need a little work, but I still forget that the simplest words can wound the most. A friend once told me the advice that I employed tonight after a few minutes of self pity. "In order to get anywhere, you need to have that thick skin. There will be a lot of rejections, before you ever will see the words yes."

To those out there that consider hanging your hat up at the first sign of trouble, I call you to the floor to justify the reasoning. Only when we are challenged will we grow, only when we grow can we be better. Always remember this. Always remember that an idea is only dead when it is never expressed. Keep writing and never give up.
