No Quitting for you! Never! If I can fight a whole government for my dream, YOU can fight a publisher or two….. or three…………. for yours. 🙂
Yes, so true. Don’t worry no quitting happening here! Having too much fun!! Hopefully we get past the Q and get to the Y and the Z.
Caution: if you begin speaking and writing ONLY in rhymes, it’s time for a mental health break.
I love all your comments they’re never confusing.
In fact, I find them very amusing.
They often make me laugh out loud.
And that should make you wonderfully proud!
I like the “G”…your stuff is alway great & you need to get “Q” out of your mind…you are too good!
Don’t worry about Q, I just couldn’t think of another word and I had used query too much already. I’m only just beginning here, I have tons of rejection left in me!!
Hang in there! Way cool post – inventive and un!
