I write on a regular basis and set deadlines for myself. I entered contests, developed a thick skin regarding rejections and criticism, and submitted to agents and publishers nonstop.

I imagine you, as most authors, could write a book on that question!Dawn Kundahttp://www.dawnkunda.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-46297562810724484202011-09-20T19:56:26.147-04:002011-09-20T19:56:26.147-04:00Thanks, Lyndee and Ellyn.

Soooo weird to hear my words read with a Scottish accent, and the narrator has an English accent between the Scottish one. My heroine comes across somewhere between the little mermaid and a valley girl. It cracks me up, but it's a thrill.Barbara Longleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263376305532752871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-58976630969741553922011-09-20T09:33:36.486-04:002011-09-20T09:33:36.486-04:00Fantastic excerpt and premise.
