Progress of Writing

Posted on by Rhonda Wiley-Jones

Two Steps Backward

Two steps back. I learned this week that submissions to two publications were rejected. That’s disappointing as a writer, but it is the nature, life, and supposed progress of writing.

One Step Forward

One step forward. Publishers of the Saturday Writers’ 2020 anthology, Decades in Writing, informed me that I can pre-order copies of the book for my purposes early at a reduced cost, as contributor. Now that’s progress to me.

Small Successes

Last February I placed second in a monthly writing contest that addressed the decade of 1900-1910. The first chapter of my novel, not yet published, Song of Herself, won as a stand-alone story entitled, “Tuck Tail or Sail.” You will find it on pages 99-104. My writing can be found in their 2011 anthology as well.

Saturday Writers Could be your Success Story

If you are a poetry writer or prose writer of personal narrative or fiction, consider Saturday Writers writing contests for a likely place to get published. Their logo states: Writers Encouraging Writers. It’s true.

Seeking Awe & Delight

A newsletter for inspirational ways to find awe and delight, insight on the transformative nature of travel, and ways to write about it.

We don’t spam! We don't like it either.

    1. Thanks for your encouragement!!! I have no intention of stopping. I have a novel that I’m searching for a place to publish it. It’s just a matter of time. I’m patient and persistent, if anything.
