Friday Round-Up - #171


Authorhaven posted a video of Ray Bradbury talking about persistence in writing. It's a little under three minutes.

If you have an example of how persistence paid off in your writing life, I'd love to hear about it.

  1. I feel kind of dumb, not knowing who Ray Bradbury is... but I get the essence of his story: keep doing what you do and write form your heart!
    Thanks Susan, have an enjoyable weekend!

  2. Hi Marja -

    I didn't know who he was either. I figured if he was on Authorhaven he was probably an author!

    In any event, I enjoyed the video and wanted to pass it along.

    Hi Wendy - Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

  3. That was a very good video. I enjoyed it so much. When I was working so hard on short stories, anything I got published at all would have been enough to carry me on to more published work. It didn't happen, but I kept going hard for a very long time.

  7. Persistence is all I know. I rarely had anything given to me and had to fight and earn everything I have, except for my salvation of course. So persistence is just a way of life for me. I don;t know anything else.
