The first book by Dr. Seuss was rejected by 27 publishers until finally accepted by a friend who was an editor in 1937. He had given up on writing altogether and was going to destroy it. He went on to become an iconic creator of books. NoGiveUp.#amwriting#amediting Keep Writing.
Toni Morrison was a national treasure, as good a storyteller, as captivating, in person as she was on the page. Her writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination. What a gift to breathe the same air as her, if only for a while.
“Rejection and criticism are part of a writer’s life. Informed feedback is useful and necessary, some of the greatest writers were rejected multiple times. Picking yourself up to keep going is invaluable. The harshest critic is often inside your own head.”-J.K. Rowling #amwriting
Sometimes when you are writing you feel like the only tree in the water. It can feel daunting writing that story. And that's ok. Your draft is you getting it to a place where you can understand it, for your next draft, no more no less. #amwriting Keep Writing. It's ok, write on.

Not every day will you have your best writing stuff. Some days you just don't feel like writing. Take a break, recharge, take a walk. But if you can, write anyways and be less hard on yourself. Sometimes wonderful jewels of writing show up when you least expect them. #amwriting
