It occurs to me that writers and prize fighters must share genetic material for this reason: when we get knocked down, neither of us has the good sense to stay there. We gasp and moan, but ultimately if we’re truly what we say we are, we shake it off, struggle to our feet, apply a band aid and maybe some chemicals to staunch the flow and then we fling ourselves back into the fray and go at it all over again.
Perseverance is a a requirement for a published author!
