		<description>A great read. It&#039;s not uncommon for authors to feel alone in the wilderness that is the publishing industry, particularly for indie authors. My co-author and I have been kicked and broken every rib twice, but with passion, persistence and patience we keep soldiering towards that goal line. It&#039;s getting closer by the day. You only have a chance when you keep learning and keep playing the game.</description>

		<description>very eloquent, thanks.  Even though I often feel like the qb throwing the interceptions.  Every day is a new day, and all of us that have amassed our knowledge through the school of hard knocks, have a duty to keep going out there and trying to win.</description>
