Positivity

Good Morning. Today I started my day well. The first email I opened was a newsletter that was so positive and uplifting I thought I would spread the feeling. Being a freelance writer can sometimes be quite depressing and this newsletter from the Writers Bureau made me feel positive and determined and ready to give my writing efforts 110%.

The main article in the newsletter was by Simon Whaley, a bestselling author and WB tutor, who tackled the issue of rejection letters very entertainingly. He pointed to the Murphy's Law that for every 10 query emails we send out, we'll receive 11 rejections. He said that the positive way to look at this is to be thankful we have ten ideas to send out.

There is a good link at the end of the newsletter to an article in the Independent dated the 6th of January 2008, called 'There's life (and a living) after rejection', which is very upbeat and encouraging. Don't forget to click on the link at the bottom which says 'Interesting? Click here to explore further'.

I wish everyone a happy, productive and posititive day.
