If I can't say something positive about a book, I won't reveiw it. <br /><br />Working consistently is important, Pat. Sounds good.<br /><br />Alex, yeah, I should be doing more of that, but the end of April is near. :)<br /><br />Susan, I believe in aiming high.<br /><br />Birgit, yes, it does take consistency and hard work to make a series complete.You should move on your mother's story if it is something you're convinced you should do.<br /><br />Lee, I'm happy too each time with writing the best book I can.<br /><br />Chrys, it sure is. I hope your dreams do come true. <br /><br />FB, that's a good reason to write a memoir. Many of us would move in that direction earlier if we thought about how our memories fade over the years. No worries on your mistake. It happens. <br /><br />Agreed, Sydney. Consistency in quality is key.<br /><br />Ros, sounds like your making some great steps. Keep on keeping on.<br /><br /><br />Gary, thanks for dropping in. Your comments make me smile. <br /><br />Lady Lilith, thanks. It does pay to have a plan so we know where we're going, even if there are shining stars all around us.<br /><br />Marie, thanks for your kind words. I like to think that each story is my best story, so I bring the same lever of passion and commitment to each.<br /><br />Joylene, I hope it happens. I know you're working toward making that happen. <br /><br />Stephanie, so true and well said. <br /><br />TLP, thanks for coming by. Follow your rainbow and you'll fulfill your dreams. J.L.

I'm driven to write a memoir because I don't want the voices of these incredible people I've known to vanish into the fogs of history. And my Cape Breton/Newfie novel ~ well, again it is the people who's hearts I have known that I hope honor in my fiction. And the land, always the land which shapes our stories.

All along the way, we writers have to fight the negative comments that threaten to bring us down or cause doubt. Even after we publish, we have to avoid letting hateful reviews destroy our confidence. I'll never understand how a book can get five stars, then have someone else post how dreadfully horrible it was. I get that not all readers will feel the same way, but dreadfully horrible? Anyway, loved this post. Hope you're having fun with the A to Z Challenge.
