But I doubt that you are failing, because it takes so much strength and courage to build and keep a blog. Always remember all the hard work you are putting into this isn't going unnoticed. Keep up the good work man.Jayrod P.

I'm not going to write a book and think the whole time that I'm writing it, "Oh man, I'm going to learn so much when this book fails." Plan to succeed and accept that it's going to happen, and then every failure is just a course-correction to your final destination.Carl Duzetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786232615099927217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-59067226402127701812012-02-23T12:52:08.374-05:002012-02-23T12:52:08.374-05:00Your words are an inspiration!

I would rather keep trying than just give up after the 3rd time or worse yet, never even beginning.

I'll admit that I, too, am quite afraid of failing. But the idea that publishing is at the end of my epic struggle? Yeah, that keeps me going.

If we succeed after many "failures" then we have not failed. So the only sure way to fail is to not attempt the thing in the first place.<br /><br />I wish I could remember the name of the man who said one of my favourite quotes . . . <br /><br />How do we know we've done what it takes to get what we want? Because we get what we want. <br /><br />I heard someone say he was going to give up looking for an agent because he was rejected 8 times. I thought, what if it takes 9 times?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-47084436191800436882012-02-22T16:35:47.622-05:002012-02-22T16:35:47.622-05:00I always need a reminder of this!I always need a reminder of this!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252890741829487017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-89776434435034841242012-02-22T16:31:56.136-05:002012-02-22T16:31:56.136-05:00I think we forget that authors, inventors, athlete...I think we forget that authors, inventors, athletes...people we look up to had their trials and fails, and then found their success.

And really, I could go off forever on my journey and how it's led me to where I am now. Long story short, I wouldn't change it. <---And as cliche as this may sound, it's the truth. Learning to swallow failure and to make it part of yourself in a good way is something a lot of people never learn to do. And I'm grateful for the strength I've gained as a person and as a writer. <br /><br />Fab post :DMorganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747144518868320969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-52243890115625104232012-02-22T15:32:00.965-05:002012-02-22T15:32:00.965-05:00Great and helpful thoughts re: failure! thank you!...Great and helpful thoughts re: failure! thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052401502190286630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863242784279751762.post-7098502401677626452012-02-22T15:05:51.749-05:002012-02-22T15:05:51.749-05:00Hi!
