Her journey began simply enough.
She had no real concept of the process.
After spilling her soul onto paper, publishers would clamber for her story.

This was written especially for Write Tribe 55 on Friday. Write 55 words on the prompt: Conditions Apply.
I could certainly relate to this, Talya. All the effort we put in and then we meet with rejection. Doesn’t seem fair, does it? I guess the main thing is to write because you are passionate about putting those words down and getting published can’t be the main focus. I learned this a while ago after a few publishing credits and then nothing. The main thing is you’re sharing your writing with others and that’s what is most important. Keep writing!
So true! Thank you for reading Cat!!
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t have that publishing dream but just to keep it in perspective when there are setbacks and disappointments. Gee, I sound so wise, eh? NOT!
Spot on! Thanks Talya.
It’s that fine print, those other conditions, that get you!
I don’t think she should give up – she’s a great writer. I love her writing! ๐
Keep going! I love your writing!
LOVE this! One of the reasons I probably don’t write more. I’m just not brave enough. YOU, my friend are very brave!
Well I don’t know about that but thank you Rachel:))
As you can see, I’m catching up on my reading! You stated the facts beautifully.
Aah! each writer undergoes this saga.
captured well!
Thank you!
bang on…bulls eye ๐
