Life Line

Unlike the others out there doing what it is you are trying to do, you do not have the entourage of guidance: the faculty support, connections to the publishing world, friendly editors who have groomed and polished your work to a high shine. Yours is more the path of the the underdog, with good hearts giving you a pat on the back as you lumber past through the tangle of confusion and thick underbrush. Although it feels that way, you are not alone. You just did not get the easy pass in this life. You have to learn to ask for and accept help in whatever form it comes. The life line is there, but you have to pick it up and throw it out. Whether or not someone finds it is another story.
