Encouragement for Writers: from the SCBWI Carolina's Conference 2013

This weekend I'm at the SCBWI Carolina's Conference in Charlotte, NC.  So I'm signing in with just a brief  note of encouragement for all those Children's/YA writers who are still submitting, and waiting, submitting -- getting rejections or perhaps a request for more pages or a full -- but still waiting, still writing, still submitting...still waiting...

This great honest poem about the writing life written by Marge Piercy was shared by Author JJ Johnson yesterday evening as she told her story of submitting, waiting, submitting, and waiting...and finally getting published.

We'll look forward to an author-tips interview with JJ Johnson this fall. Check out her books at the link above.


 
But today without futher adoo...

FOR THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO - By Marge Piercy

May it encourage you.
