Gotta Love a Writer With Spunk

I have to share this Seattle Post Intellegencer article, because I think it gives writers a very good idea of the level of commitment that is needed from authors if they intend to succeed in a grueling publishing environment.

I truly admire Debbie Macomber's commitment and spunk, not just now after she's been published, but throughout the five years when she wrote her first novels on a rented typewriter!

Slated for January 1st 2009 Release . . . Married in Seattle.

So she wrote for twenty years before finding success. Hmm . . . it's been about that long for me.

Hi Tia,

With two novels completed and your third underway, I'd say you are well on your way to being one of the next not so over-night success stories I'll be featuring on my blog :-)

Honestly, I have a whole lot more admiration for writers who have the passion to persevere, as opposed to a whole lot of luck.

Thank you! The more I write, the more I love it. This third novel is going along so well; I'm quite excited about it.
