When I recently lost my freelancing job, I cried, I sulked and ate all kinds of junk food, but a few days later, I started querying my manuscript again. Because in reality, I only took on freelancing to get more experience as a professional writer.
So no matter what you are going through, you cannot let bad experiences and incidents allow you to derail your life.
The Insecure Writers Support Group was created by the wonderful and talented author and blogger, Alex J. Cavanaugh. You guys can visit Alex over at http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.com.
It's wonderful to hear you're back on track. (We all deserve some sulking days.) Have you started something new while you're querying (not telling you what to do, just wondering).
ReplyDeleteSet-backs are there so we can reassess. Back to querying is a great step.
ReplyDeleteTonja - Thank you Tonja. I am still looking for something new, but I am sure I can find something.
ReplyDeleteAnnalisa - Thank you.
Good for you, Murees! The power of positive thinking!

When some things don't work out, we have the chance for something new. A friend of mine posted some links for freelance jobs online, if you want to look at it.

Thanks for dropping in. Paramount advice. Often a good nights sleep makes the world look rosier. Happy you settled in and let your sorrow go.

ReplyDeleteYeah, life itself is filled with ups and downs and hardships. choosing life as a writer is filled double those things:)
ReplyDeleteHowever, we should reserve the right to have a hissy-fit for at least fifteen minutes. :D
