Pressing forward...

This quote was sent by my writing friend, Suzan Robertson.

“....With God's help, we can all do great things for the kingdom, that we can ruthlessly pursue excellence and when the voices of disdain grow loud from talented folks and those who wish they were, let’s drown them out with the most beautiful, thoughtful words we can muster, displayed on the pages of our own work.
“Don't be discouraged and set that manuscript in a drawer. Keep pressing forward always remembering there is no one out there that can write like you, that has lived the life you have lived, or can tell the stories you alone can tell.”
