I can't tell you how many times I wanted to quit because I felt I was going no where. Then, someone makes an encouraging remark and I know all my hard work is not in vein. <br />M.J.M. J.

Sometimes those little things mean so much, even if they just put a smile on a long face. <br /><br />Please let me know what you think of The Devil's Pawn. <br />M.J.<br />http://www.mj-macie-mysterybooks.com/M.

I have had a string of unfortunate things happen lately, and then I found a Starbucks gift card in a long unused purse. I was sure it was worthless but I tried it anyway. It had $25 on it! Now it is almost worthless (he he), but it was the kickstart I needed to keep going, the encouragement I needed to go another day.<br /><br />This isn't exactly what you meant, but for me, at that point, it was enough.<br /><br />Looking forward to The Devil's Pawn.

It's a lot of fun and I am reading all kinds of literature I would not have read otherwise, so thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />I passed along a little award/activity to you if you are interested in doing it too! Not sure how to leave links in comments, so if you go to my blog, it's the "Honest Scrap" post. :)StephTheBookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340476943567585965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250490770785857887.post-74770805788469286612009-11-23T10:41:38.713-05:002009-11-23T10:41:38.713-05:00I agree.

So glad you're intrigued by The Devil's Pawn. I've been hearing good things about it and am very pleased. <br />M.J. MacieM. J.

And if it's any 'extra' encouragement;-) I always press that anything you do, do it because you want to do it... because you love it! Make it fun. That's the difference (& benefits) between working (a let's say) 9 to 5 because you have to, versus doing what you love. <br /><br />And hey, I'm enjoying your blog. Once upon a time I loved mysteries, which the Devil's Pawn now has my attention.<br /><br />RYCJOEBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764044543216365261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250490770785857887.post-15258568747915992682009-11-22T14:21:52.357-05:002009-11-22T14:21:52.357-05:00Glad you enjoyed the article.

I love to read thrillers and will definitely have to order them when I can. <br /><br />I agree that we all need a light at the end of the tunnel to keep us going. I guess I am most encouraged when people tell me I am doing a good job. It is nice to hear and keeps me motivated.StephTheBookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340476943567585965noreply@blogger.com
