Whether query or contest, this journey to publication is certainly full of ups and downs!<br /><br /><br /><br />Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594436685900756259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-12358786868524805242013-02-14T17:30:47.606-07:002013-02-14T17:30:47.606-07:00We have all needed to hear this at some point.

I read all the entries for writer's voice and starred the ones that I thought would pique some interest. Yours had three stars. <br /><br />And I bet there's someone out there right now with the same concerns, and someone has three stars next to their name and they don't even know it. Keep going!Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767762370997304308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-75327028830304687962013-02-13T07:34:49.531-07:002013-02-13T07:34:49.531-07:00So true!
