I dunno about you but lately I have had a lot of people telling me the odds are against me with this writing dream. No joke, in a matter of 24 hours I have had 3 people say that it's useless going for what I want.
And then in my anthropology class I read a quote that said, "The odds of someone poor becoming a success is slim to none." And I am sorry but I don't accept that fact.
Look at J.K Rowling, Steven King and even Charles Dickens, they all struggled to reach their dream and because of them we are better.
I vote we all call a ceasefire on these negative people in our lives. The naysayers are going down because our will is too strong for them. I also vote that every person that says a dream isn't possible gives us more fuel to keep going.
We can and will do this, we just have to work, work work.
Just keep brushing aside protestations(oh yeah, and working...)~Mary
