Back before I met Caroline Upcher, Ann Patty first read my ms. (she acquired LIFE OF PI and a few other blockbusters) My first ms had a fatal flaw - which she'd pointed out. She suggested I backup and write short stories first. I thanked her, and said I wanted to fix my ms rather than do that. She probably thought I was a nut job. No matter what she thought, she eventually pointed me to Caroline. And the rest is history. <br /><br />Not really. I just said that b/c it fit that spot. :)<br /><br />You've got a lot to be proud of.<br />Donnaevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026536210749494257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-22251142330740261032015-07-25T20:38:27.048-04:002015-07-25T20:38:27.048-04:00WOW!

So far, before and after, a lot of R's (personal and form) for my shorts. <br /><br />Definitely still writing, though, and definitely still trying!Jennifer R.

"Figuring out" is only one rung. Sure it may make the rest of the rungs a little easy to navigate but the need to continue up will always be there. I thinks that's a good thing because then we don't become complacent, or arrogant, or feel entitled to success because we were successful figuring it out once or twice or many times before. <br />I'm loaded with bylines but sure as shit I want a title page some day. Will I get there? Who knows. <br />All I DO know is that if I stop, I'll never get there. I guess that's what it means to carry on.<br />Keep climbing my friend. At least the exercise will get us, and keep us, in writing-shape.Carolynnwith2Nshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18394998702410764388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904356705735120070.post-17540003250181779482015-07-24T20:27:57.195-04:002015-07-24T20:27:57.195-04:002NS, I feel like I am climbing a ladder, but I don...2NS, I feel like I am climbing a ladder, but I don't know where the top is. I just climb rung after rung - some are easy to navigate, others take a long time, but I just keep climbing because I hope by the time I reach the top I'll have it figured out.AJ Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529233142099749005noreply@blogger.com
