Listen to your consciousness from twenty years in the future. Listen to the writer you will be and his or her magnificent life, listen to how she/he thanks you for not quitting today.
How brave that writer, now a memory for me, how well he lived the tests of his life!
Rejections? So what? He sent his stories and his books immediately to other publishers, until they sold.
He kept writing. He knew that I could be his future, and his unswerving tenacity then was his gift for me.
What's my gift for him? This life, the one he imagined, the one I live today, and which I share with a few million readers who still enjoy the ideas he wrote, and the ones still hidden in his future.

You suprised me by joining GR (frankly-You surprised me purely by being (still) alive in this age of computerisation) -is here any story behind? How do You feel about those 'virtual' worlds? Many older(and much wiser)people in my life think that those relationships&communities aren't real-or not fulfilling at best. IMHO it's just another step(tool)in fusing ppl together (offering permeability&freedom of movement).
