my view,  writing life

Thankful

April 30, 2012 /

Thankful doesn’t begin to say how I feel about the outpouring of love and support at my contract news last week. But yes I’m still trying to wrap my head around it but I’m starting to. Yes, I’m starting to. And yes, I’m so thankful.

If this experience has taught me anything it’s taught me how important it is to believe in yourself and to never give up something. I knew it and preached it but may have never been all the way behind for myself.

 

Thanks so much to you all for reminding me during those dark times when I would start to forget.

 

Best,

Kwana

    ….but I bet it was that one naysayer that made you want this all the more. I know that elementary art contest taught me to believe in myself and never give up. They thought I had help and copied it. I was truly devastated. It is often in those times that we become our true selves and find our style and our stride.
    I know you have wanted this for so long and I am so thrilled for you. Keep the dream alive and dream big.
    Now when can I buy the book???
