I'm excited about my guest today. She's a fabulous writer and despite being snowed in without power, she got this blog to me so noone would be disappointed. This lady deserves a medal...and a cup of hot chocolate and a nice fire in the fireplace. After you read her post, be sure to leave a comment ....the least we can do for her is to warm her heart. So, take it away, Lisa!

Hello from Lisa Mondello. I want to thank Sandra for having me here today!I am sending this post from my cell phone because 18 inches of snow that fell Saturday knocked out my power. So this will be short and sweet.
I want to talk about determination. If blogging from a cell phone isn't determination I don't know what is!
As a writer you need determination as much as you need talent to survive in publishing. So often I hear of a writer getting a rejection or two and then just quitting. That writer will never survive the publishing industry with a give-up attitude!
To survive you need to be tenacious. Allow yourself tine to feel bad about rejection. But have a plan and then move on. I have a 24-hour rule. I get to mope and eat chocolate for 24 hours and then it’s right back to work. What do you do to survive the publishing industry’s ups and downs?
