I...Thanks for commenting and following my blog! :)<br /><br />I find your posts quite entertaining and honest. I have not gotten rejected by agents merely because I have not sent in any works of mine yet, but I think that I do usually end up using cliches more than necessary. I guess as a young writer it's easier to just copy what's been used already, but I know I'll have to delve deeper into the creative abyss of my mind in order to expect greater things to come out of my writing in the future.<br /><br />Great post. Very motivating. :) <br /><br />~TRA<br /><br />http://xtheredangelx.blogspot.comWendy Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048944852796207898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-4383522450796019772010-05-31T12:42:17.236-05:002010-05-31T12:42:17.236-05:00Awesome post, and you've got a lot of great in...Awesome post, and you've got a lot of great information on this blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-11251228148725870852010-05-31T07:43:32.669-05:002010-05-31T07:43:32.669-05:00Burn the ships!

I like hearing back from editors who I've submitted my short stories to because I get more feedback, which definitely helps me know what I need to work on.LoveRundlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177659277273835858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-46588383723014390222010-05-30T19:48:47.153-05:002010-05-30T19:48:47.153-05:00I've found myself lately reading to pick the b...I've found myself lately reading to pick the books apart, LOL.

I often catch myself while watching a terrible new movie on DVD saying, "I'd be having a better time watching GALAXY QUEST."<br /><br />And know what? I often switch to doing just that.<br /><br />I'm proud of your 1000 words. Consider yourself being applauded.<br /><br />Sometimes I use phrases that mean just what they say {but with the added plus of making me smile of the memory of a good laugh from a book or movie.} <br /><br />Never give up. Never surrender. I meant them literally and also smilingly offered to fellow fans of GALAXY QUEST.<br /><br />Now you get to revise those 1000 words, Christi. Ouch. RolandRoland D.
