I lack so much faith in myself that sending my work out to be judged and rejected is terrifying but I'm doing it anyway. Like Jo says, 'feel the fear but do it anyway'. And being rejected means I'm trying and that's something to be proud of. Proud of you too Neoo. And the website is awesome. .. trust me xxx
Not sure who said this but I remember hearing that if you aren't getting rejected on a daily basis then your goals aren't ambitious enough. Always go for the gold. Congrats on your book, Kenton. Keep striving. Be proud of who you are today!
