If you do any sort of creative work at all, you have to read this:

Relentlessly Optimistic

It uses actors as a reference, but it’s about writers, too. Do we not throw our tender hearts out in front of the speeding trains of beta readers and agents and editors? Do we not have to learn to take one more chance, even though we swear our hearts can’t take it?

Read this. You must. And then dig around in Communicatrix’s site. Connect with stories? Of course we connect with stories. We’re storytellers, after all.

    Why, thank you kindly, Elizabeth.

    Agreed. This tender-hearted affliction/blessing applies to so many endeavors.

    I’m glad you saw fit to share it with your readers.

    Oh my goodness! Hello, Colleen. I have been trying to come up with some sort of comment to leave directly on your blog that doesn’t sound, well, blitheringly idiotic. Your post struck me straight to the heart. I guess I could just say that. Heh. Thank you for stopping by!
