I have been "canoeing" very hard to get a much-revised book to the publishing stage.

It makes a difference mostly in my confidence as a writer, as well as in my happiness in knowing it means my books will reach more readers because of that review/honor. But if you're not canoeing daily, as a writer or a teacher, and loving it--those yachts never come along:>)laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.com
