No One Cares As Much...

...as you do.  Your work is your baby, and no matter what friends and family tell you, they don't care about your writing like you do.  Sometimes it can be a chore to get folks just to read your work.  People have lives of their own, and even though they want to be supportive, stuff gets in the way.  You have to be your own best cheerleader, and you can't get discouraged when people aren't as enthusiastic about your work as you are.

There will be times you'll get down.  There will be times you'll be frustrated by nobody finishing your book like they promised.  When that happens, knuckle down and try to push through.  It'll be hard.  You'll wonder why you're doing so much when so many seem like they don't care.  It doesn't matter.  What matters is staying on the path.

Remember, success isn't not not failing - it's getting back into it after failure until you make it.  Most successful people didn't perform flawlessly.  Instead, they simply kept going when everybody else gave up.
