Sometimes it seems like there's a lot to be depressed about but my advice is: don't worry about any of it. P.S. I am not a licensed professional
What if nobody likes your book? (just write another one)
What if you can't find a publisher? (improve your work and keep trying)
What if you got some bad reviews? (they are just as important as the good ones)
What if the writing isn't going well? (it often didn't go so well for Hemingway either, or Steinbeck or Dickens or-- fill in the blank)
What if your career isn't happening like you expected? (nobody's is, except for maybe Mark Zuckerman and Jeffrey Bezos)
What if your blog doesn't have enough followers or comments? Now that I can do something about!!
Stop by tomorrow for my big bash, KarenG's Labor Day BBQ. Bring food (I like food) and be prepared to add some spice to the lazy summer blog routine. Find new blogs, get new followers, and jazz up the blogosphere with shared enthusiasm! See you tomorrow then.
I'll definitely be there! :o) Is there an announcement or something I can post tomorrow to send people here?
ReplyDeleteI'll be there, dropping in from the UK! Great sentiments BTW.
ReplyDeleteHow does the BBQ work? Do we post once this weekend or all three days?

ReplyDeleteA party, oh I love parties. I'll bring something to eat. I love food too. Maybe a salad of some sort. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI'll be there. Good way to forget the "what if" doubts for awhile. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember last year. Great blog fest!
ReplyDeleteTo answer a few questions:
