Perseverance pays off - eventually

"I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident. They came by work." Thomas Edison

Samples of success through hard work:

Here is Guy Saville's guest blog on how his Afrika Reich nabbed a two book publishing deal with Hodder & Stoughton. It took him ten years and 15 effusive rejections!

And Talli Roland's interview on how she reached publication by never giving up. She wrote 5 previous novels - all rejected - and struck gold with her 6th book The Hating Game.

Lucky continues to survive.

And here is another very determined cat.

And on a smaller scale - I finished my story that I hope is suitable woman's mag fiction reading material. I won't find out until my tutor sees it first!

I wanted to call it "The Red Cat Litter Tray" but thought that if this were the real world - that story will be litter tray material if I ever used that title!

Insider tip though from the fab womagriter : Women's mags editors tend to change the title of your story anyway.

And the Tech people from faraway Dell are finally arriving on Friday! Yay!

Charlie says: OH NO!! That means silly human pointing that flashy thing in my face again!

Have a great Thursday everyone!
