If I didn&#039;t have optimism and hope, I&#039;d have quit a long time ago.  Thanks for the upbeat post.

		<description><![CDATA[Deb,  this is a great post. I read MJF&#039;s first book and enjoyed it and want to read the next one, too. I agree that writers  have to have lots of optimism to keep going, published or not. It&#039;s the only thing that can pull you through. I also find that I enjoy writing more when I take a positive attitude toward it, especially when it&#039;s not going well.
