Raising the stakes is something I really need to work on... but then I feel bad for my character... no, no sympathy! Aaaugh! *pushes MC down flight of stairs* ...oops? Stephanie - It's so true! In this business, it seems you either: a) get lucky, or b) persevere through the exhaustion until you're published. Eventually, it'll happen, as long as we don't give up (as tempting as it may be sometimes). Barbara - Hmm... I like the way you think! But then I'd need a lovely new notebook to go with it. Just sayin'. Lydia — I know what that’s like! Raising the stakes is something I really need to work on… but then I feel bad for my character… no, no sympathy!

Many will give up...many will probably take MANY years and lots of breaks (as I have) but only those who stick with it and really pursue it will succeed.

Right now, I'm trying hard to make my outline for a new WIP as great as possible and not cutting corners by making things too easy on my MC. I’ve never heard a better description of perseverance!
