One Belt At A Time

I know karate is a little off topic, but I thought I would share this photo from my karate belt test last night. I moved up one rung to gold belt, and although the black belt is a long way off, one belt at a time, I will get there.

In a previous post, I mentioned that karate and kickboxing are helping me to be a better writer, because I am learning to be more focused, disciplined, how to roll with the punches (literally!) and to keep my eyes on the prize.

So, if you have had setbacks or disappointments with your writing career recently, don't be discouraged. Keep your eye on the prize, and take it one page at a time.
