In Praise of Stubbornness

Talking with my writer friend Jane this morning and realizing that for the past year, three of us in our writing group were agonizing, whining, grunting out bits of our self-assigned projects, and suddenly in the new year we are all focused and steadily producing chapters. What happened? Happily, we have discovered our process included a long incubation.

So the word of the day is "persevere" — carry on stubbornly. To those who are in the fallow phase, don’t give up!

  1. Persevere, indeed. Thanks, Kate. Good word, good blog. I am glad to see you are doing both, pursuing your writing and creating a blog in the process. It's hard to do in these time-stealing days.
