Love this. And I like the analogy about call-backs and booking a part, Vicky--it's very similar to one my agent makes, comparing batting averages to going on submission. If you bat over .300, you are doing great--potentially, maybe even Hall of Fame level. 😂
It's reassuring to know that's normal (not just for writers), for sure! And a great reminder that we are playing in the "big leagues," with very tough competition--but that doesn't mean we don't have the chance to step up and show what we've got!
Oh, I like that! I’ll have to remember that one. At least we have unlimited at bats! (Ok, somewhat throttled by the pace of this industry, but still 😁)
Great advice to keep going and envision it as a long tunnel (vs. a black hole). Thanks Christine and Vicky and congrats on all of the books! Vicky, I didn't know you were an actor—cool!

I don't know anything about baseball but even I understand that analogy! So great.

Right? Very reassuring! (Esp. if someone is like you and Christine and write in multiple genres!) I'm trying to--slowly--get there! :)

Thank you! So glad it was helpful!
Thank you, Shirley! Glad it was helpful. And yes, I was an actor a looong time ago! 😁
