On my return to fiction writing in 2007, it was the second submission that was accepted. So I guess I must be doing something right somewhere!Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282504373890041231.post-18533125146982854732011-04-03T01:07:23.412+01:002011-04-03T01:07:23.412+01:00If we don't aim beyond our reach, how can we e...If we don't aim beyond our reach, how can we ever hope to do our best?

Well, I can dream, can't I?<br />If I'm being realistic, I know I'll never make it to that display in the bookstore or the bestseller lists. Like you, I try to keep improving, to learn and get better. At the same time, I accept my own limitations. I'm happy to have an editor like my novel enough to say 'we'd like to publish it.' <br />But I won't rest on my laurels, I'll still strive to get better. <br />Look forward to your C post.<br />Paula<br />http://paulamartinpotpourri.blogspot.comPaula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.com
