Perseverance

by Helen Brenna

Helen Brenna © 2008 

We all know getting published is difficult, now and always.  I wrote for ten years, completed four manuscripts (not to mention several halfsies), finalled in the Golden Heart three times, and had two agents and two critique groups before finally selling my first book.

Perseverance is important in achieving goals.  There’s no doubt that if I hadn’t stuck it out, if I hadn’t entered those contests, written and revised those manuscripts and improved my craft, I wouldn’t have eventually sold.  Perseverance is, quite likely, the most important weapon in getting published.
