Are you on the verge of waving the white flag with our writing?
Don’t!
Perhaps you feel like these writers:
“We’ve done everything right – we’ve thought positively, we’ve battled through rejection, we’ve honed our craft, we’ve attended conferences, we’ve networked…but we still can’t get published. What about us?”
Does that sound like you? If so, several very accomplished children’s writers have put together a free e-book dealing with this very issue. They’ve each battled through the ups and downs of children’s writing and have come out on top. What do they have to say to writers who are still in the thick of the battle to get published?
They had lots to say, and it’s all captured in a F*R*E*E e-book called “Don’t Quit! What To Do When You’ve Done Everything Right — And Still Can’t Get Published.”
Thi is an e-book from Children’s Book Insider. It won’t cost you a cent. They just ask one thing: Send out a Tweet or a Facebook Like about it, so that other writers can benefit from this inspirational e-book. Don’t worry — the Twitter and Facebook buttons are right there on the page for you. Just click, send and download your free e-book!
Here’s the link:

Enjoy….and keep writing!

Agh, I’m still struggling with trying to convince myself not to quit before I even TRY. But you’ve been a big help in not-letting-me-give-up-trying-not-to-give-up, too. I just did a post where somebody did one of those silly “Blogger Award” memes, and though I didn’t take it very seriously as an award, I did list you on MY list of recommended blogs for this reason.

Rockinlibrarian, thank you for the recommendation! I appreciate it! Sometimes I’m preaching to the choir with these “don’t give up” posts. I need them too! We all help pull each other up.
