A writer's journey...

Weeks ago, I posted the introductory for a serial called: Tuck and Roll - The Writer's Highway.   If you missed the post,  here  it is.   This series is meant to encourage and inspire you as a writer along your journey. I brought out the illustration of a caterpillar.  Hence, the picture on this post.  We'll view this little guy as a sort of mascot the series. So let's begin.  Today we'll discuss overcoming obstacles at these points in our journey: receiving agent rejections and the course of self-publication.

But after the tenth pass through you're getting really sick of reading it.  Maybe you're even starting to think it stinks again.  TUCK AND ROLL!
