I wrote six or seven contemporary, unconnected,novels (all of which were rejected although some have been published since) before changing genre and writing an historical. While I waited to hear its fate I wrote a sequel - both were taken up and I then finished the trilogy. 'If at first you don't succeed, love,' my old dad used to say, 'try, try, and try again.' Good advice. Keep on trucking, you writers!Linda Mitchelmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948518126405880012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-60652175322715750242017-06-05T11:02:41.583+01:002017-06-05T11:02:41.583+01:00A wonderful, encouraging post Gill and one that ar...A wonderful, encouraging post Gill and one that arrived at just the right time for me.
