Perseverance

A friend asked me today about my writing and I told him the sad truth: Novel No. 2 is getting far less attention than Novel No. 1 when I expected just the opposite.

I was clear that I didn't really know what to do.

"Are you going to keep trying?" he asked me.

Well, yeah, because to do otherwise is just to give up essentially and I'm not keen on doing that. Still it is a lot of work that I face and it is not much fun. Never let anyone tell you that writing isn't hard work. I've never known anyone for whom it came easy.

So I keep on, but I've now put aside any decision until I return from a trip on July 28. I cannot do anything before then anyway.

Besides, I'm a born procrastinator.

Yours in rejection,

Phil
