Virtues of A Writer Part V

This is the fifth and final post on Virtues.

The Morality of Deed:

Trust--Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing.


  
"Without trust, words become the hollow sound of a wooden gong. With trust, words become life itself."--John Harold.
We must trust other writers with our work and ideas, trust people who handle our submissions, trust our agents to do what's best for us and our work, trust editors to be honest and fair, but most of all, we must trust our own abilities.

Morality of Mind:

Perseverance--Continued steady belief and persistence, withstanding discouragement or difficulty.


Big Load

"The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit."--Mark Twain (1835-1910)
Oh, Mr. Twain, how right you are.

  1. Trust is the hard one here. You never know.... My little bit of add in advice here is to be sure who you are trusting.

    These are great Denise.

  2. You're absolutely right, Courtney. When it comes to trusting someone with our hard work, it's wise to know the person you are dealing with.

    Thanks for stopping by!
