Last year, right around this time, a quote about brick
walls from Randy Pausch was trending:
“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls
are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to
show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the
people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people."
I vowed to do whatever it took to tackle my brick wall.
This inaugural blog post, and the launch of my website celebrates my climb to
the top of it. In May, I signed with the amazing Terrie Wolf of AKA
Literary. Like they always say, it only takes one “yes.” I am so thrilled that
Terrie was the one who said “yes.”
Like others before me, I have stacks of rejection letters,
and took a few wrong turns. I want to share some of that here. Others inspired
me on my climb and helped to get me on the right path, it’s my turn to pay it
forward if I can.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there will be many more walls
to come. I will stop for a moment to enjoying the view, but I’m also ready to
climb the next one.
