Here’s something to help you keep plugging, revising, submitting:

Even James Lee Burke, best-selling author of more than 20 novels, has hit rough patches. His novel The Lost Get-Back Boogie was rejected 111 times over a period of nine years. Then, when it was published by Louisiana State University press, the novel was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

And if you’d prefer inspiration of the visual kind, perhaps the magic Madrona trees by Penn Cove, Whidbey Island will do the trick!

Have a good weekend all!
