Instead of focusing on my jealousy, I try to put my effort into becoming a better writer and maybe someday earning that as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11316328217006467698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-24010757988639148892014-05-29T20:25:35.187-05:002014-05-29T20:25:35.187-05:00I guessed it was something like that, Mrs. Morrill...I guessed it was something like that, Mrs. Morrill ;) And agreed, Mrs. Williamson!

Andy Griffith is so full of excellent advice, and he always delivers it in a way that penetrates. His methods were definitely better than Barney's...

This post rem...Ahhhh, Andy Griffith. Good times...<br /><br />This post reminded me of the second Ellie Sweet book. That aspect of the book really...made me think, I guess. It can happen in any business. Just...sometimes it seems we can forget writing/publishing is a business and it's easier for it to get to ours heads, maybe. <br /><br />I love how Ellie's agent told her the best way to combat that getting-to-your-head-ness is to thank people. Such a simple thing, yet how much it can help. :) Thanks to Mrs. Morrill and Mrs. Williamson for sharing such wise advice!Amanda Fischernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-36999876913262890312014-05-29T08:42:15.537-05:002014-05-29T08:42:15.537-05:00When I hear about somebody signing with a publishe...When I hear about somebody signing with a publisher or agent, I think, "Oh, how I wish it was me". But then, I realize that someone else's dreams are coming true and I cannot help being very happy for them! And Lord willing, someday I will be published! I just have to write a novel first. :)Alea Harpernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-64955728133162990732014-05-29T08:00:53.571-05:002014-05-29T08:00:53.571-05:00The good thing is that there can more than one win...The good thing is that there can more than one winner in writing. :) I'm still on the first draft of my first I'm-gonna-stick-with-it novel, so I don't know how rejection feels - yet.
