I want to remind you that I will be at the Oregon State Fair at the Oregon author’s table, signing my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” The fair starts tomorrow at 10:00am and runs through September 5th. I will be there everyday except the 5th form 10:00am-10:00 pm. Drop by and say hello if you are in the area. The fair is held in Salem Oregon.

I recently was at a Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference in Turner, Oregon, and learned a great deal. I learned that perseverance and persistence pays off. I scheduled appointments with two agents, and three publishers while I was there.
Both agents wanted me to send them more information on my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to survive in an Unfriendly World.” They felt it had merit, and may want to represent me in the future. This is the first time any agents were interested.
I met with three publishers. All three took my book and asked me to also send them a proposal. This is the first time any publishers were interested.
Do you see a pattern? I have been to this same Oregon Christian Writer’s Conference for four years. I didn’t even get the time of day from any agents or publishers in the past. I stuck to it and kept improving my work. I listened to the advice the agents and publishers gave me before to improving my chances.
This year, I put all of it together, and I may have worked hard enough to finally have it pay off. Perseverance and persistence; two of my favorite words.
