I am so proud to be counted among you all..as a still small fish who has been floundering the past year.<br /><br />It is an honor to even attempt to make it in this field and even though it's tough..it is worth all the work and waiting.Amy C.

But he told me that he would rather leave anyone with different words....<br />"Take a Chance"<br /><br />That is what I have done, and I treasure his words. You are right there is great loss along the way, but with the perseverance, persistence and a skin that gets pretty tough after a while we learn that hard work pays off.<br /><br />Never let the idea that you can't do something stop you from trying.Ginger*:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14970160779830842600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-27505504207621805762010-02-24T07:00:52.581-08:002010-02-24T07:00:52.581-08:00Such wise words Ginger.

It is so important that we stay encouraged because so many of us are falling by the wayside feeling as if this dream of becoming a full time illustrator will never come to pass. I will be the first to say," That while some are happy for me as an illustrator many are not." Some are even asking, " Why her??" Not that they are envious or haters. Only that they have been working at this for soooooo long with out value and honor. Most of us want to be published in all honesty. We want to hear some publisher or agent say,"Your work is outstanding let's do a book!" I would say that, "This certainly didn't happen over night for me. NOT!!! As my daughter would say.<br />It's been a long hard road for me filled with major disappointments and hurts, and loss. Lots of loss. One day I will share the story. I'm still working things out. GOD IS GOOD! That's all I can and will say. It's my heart to encourage EVERY illustrator and illustrators at heart to keep pressing towards their destiny. Some will find that this is where they should and ought to be and others will find out this is not what they want at all. It's good to be in the pond with you all. he he he!Vanessa Brantley Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103644990786273164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-84122168449489362852010-02-23T07:50:47.803-08:002010-02-23T07:50:47.803-08:00Such well-written wise words, Ginger.Such well-written wise words, Ginger.trowbridge chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371697593470177928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-31960777690831892502010-02-23T07:22:12.508-08:002010-02-23T07:22:12.508-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179909328620805262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1052905315917849912.post-7223668869924642682010-02-23T07:22:05.683-08:002010-02-23T07:22:05.683-08:00Wonderful colors Ginger!!!Wonderful colors Ginger!!!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179909328620805262noreply@blogger.com
