| Does your journey toward publication sometimes feel like this? |
I've known a lot of writers who have left the path because this despair overwhelmed them. Each time it saddens me, especially when I've seen their work, and know first hand that with time and development, they are absolutely 100% publishable.
Today I'm guest posting at Janice Hardy's The Other Side of the Story about writer's despair. I hope you'll swing by and leave a comment on how you have worked through those dark moments so that anyone questioning themselves right now will have a road map that can help them move past their own uncertainty!

This post completely resonates with me, Angela. I went through my date with despair just few days back. I have slowly left that stage behind me. Will check out your guest post.
I love Janice! I'll check this out for sure.
I'm off to check it out. Love the pics!
What a GREAT picture choice! I'm on my way, Angela. :-)
I posted this after reading your guest appearance words at Janice Hardy's blog:
I'm posting Angela's three points on the virtual fridge... Wise words.
Years ago, when the Rabbi gave me and my husband to be pre-nuptial advice, his points echoed Angela's. It keeps working for us.
Sage advice for writing, and for life.
Thank you, Angela.
Sounds like something I need to go check out. Running over now. :-)
Thanks so much, everyone. I know this is a bit of a bummer to think about at Christmas time, but I also know that the holidays can also intensify negative feelings for some. I am so glad to have other writers to talk to and to have their support. It gets me through so much. :)
I'm in an up trajectory for now, but I've definitely struggled here and there with that virtual writers' burden stone on my back.
I'll go check it out. I am going through a little of that despair right now.Need all the help I can get.
Wonderful guest post, Angela. You have some really fantastic suggestions. :)
That was a good post!
You're just all over the place, woman!! You are bacon powered I think. Te he. I will definitely check it out as soon as I get a chance!!
Oh yeah, definitely dealing with this right now since the most recent books I've read our Divergent and Hunger Games.
I am torn between feelings of total admiration and complete despair. I am sooo bi-polar.lol
I've been tempted a time or two to give into despair, thankfully the need to tell my stories and hopefully find others who want to read them pulls me back time after time.
Great post, Angela. And the photo describes the feeling well. Too well!
Great photo. I'm on my way over to read your guest post.
