But I think that when we get to that place that can make or break us is when it's most important to press on.

It must be nice to know that at least you're doing something right - they believe in your work, even if you have to tweak it. Or overhaul it.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467792088318570922.post-50839122133305248122010-04-06T16:20:51.610-06:002010-04-06T16:20:51.610-06:00Excellent post!

The one good thing about going through that with your editor, especially a tough one like Kristine, is knowing that you're under contract and it's all for a good cause!Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.com
