  3. This is really what writing is about, Jack, taking the disappointments on board and moving forward. Always improving, and being brave enough to lead with the chin. A friend of mine was at it for a lot of years, but she's persisted and scored herself a contract with Text, http://paula-weston.com/. You'll get there as well, big fella.
