One of the things I love about being a TA blogger is sharing the real life issues of being an author. Like a lot of things in life, the dream of what a certain event will be like isn’t exactly how it turns out to be.
When we as writers first start in this business, we dream of holding a book in our hands with our name on the front. We think that once we get published the rest will be easier. That isn’t usually the case. I know well-published authors who have trouble finding a publisher for their next book.
But still, we persevere. The desire to write books for children / young adults still pushes us on.
So whether you are pre-published still waiting to see your name on a cover-or a published author: keep going. From somewhere deep inside you-you must keep going.

Excellent advice: keep going. Or as Dory would say, just keep swimming!
