How to Show Up for Yourself Like You Do for Your Loved Ones
We show up for our loved ones all the time in all kinds of ways. We bring sick friends soup and grieving friends casseroles. We create safe spaces for loved ones to share their most tender thoughts and feelings. We attend weddings and funerals. We listen. We try to be patient, kind, and understanding.
But we don't exactly do the same thing for ourselves. Because, for so many of us, it doesn't come as naturally.
One reason it's tough to show up for ourselves is that we hold ourselves to a higher standard than we do our friends, family, and even complete strangers, said Sage Rubinstein, MA, LMHC, a Miami-based therapist specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, addiction, and trauma.
"Others can make mistakes, but I'm a failure. Others are deserving, but I'm not. We are always the exception to some rule," she said.
This stems from our self-esteem and self-compassion—or lack there-of. Which is shaped "by our culture, parents, upbringing, or other environmental influences."
"We have a vision of how we think our lives should look, and when we don't meet our expectations, there is often a sense of failure and unworthiness that is connected," said Rubinstein, who practices at Miami Modern Counseling.
Another reason is that showing up for ourselves is a learned behavior that originates from childhood, said Samantha Moshiri, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults with eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, as well as depression, and anxiety.
"We are born with the instinct to be attuned to our own needs and to actively attempt to meet them, in essence to show up for ourselves," she said. But how this instinct evolves over time largely depends on our interactions with our caregivers. If a caregiver responds in a nurturing manner when a baby cries, that baby will likely grow up believing it's safe to express their needs.
However, if our needs are "met with anger, hostility, upset, or inconsistency, [we] learn to make accommodations for other people in order to garner a different reaction—thus begins a pattern of putting other people's needs before our own," Moshiri said.
We can show up for ourselves in many different ways.
Showing up for ourselves can mean noticing our emotional and physiological experiences, Rubinstein said. "By turning inwards and connecting with what we're truly thinking and feeling, we then become better equipped to figure out what it is we need in that moment and then, most importantly, honor that need."
Showing up for ourselves also means not depriving ourselves. Rubinstein regularly hears both clients and friends discuss different joys—love, laughter, food—as rewards for hard work or discipline. However, we don't need to earn these things, because "we are all deserving."
If you don't think you're worthy of kindness and care, that's OK. Act, anyway. Because you don't have to wait until you feel great about yourself to act that way. Even though developing and strengthening your sense of self-worth is imperative, it also can take time, Moshiri said. And "you deserve to start showing up for yourself now."
You can do that by taking small steps—such as trying the below ideas. Plus, "by taking action steps to show up for yourself, you might just start to feel more self-confident and worthy along the way," Moshiri said. Because actions can alter our mindset, mood, and even our deepest beliefs.
Explore how you actually treat yourself. Sometimes, we don't even realize the ways in which we act toward ourselves—what we say, what we do—especially when we're struggling. This is why Rubinstein suggested taking Kristin Neff's self-compassion quiz, which provides a greater understanding of just how self-compassionate you are—or aren't.
Set boundaries. When setting boundaries, "first and most importantly you need to know what you do and don't want," said Maegon Renee, a therapist and coach for empath entrepreneurs and founder of The Aligned Lifestyle Program. "If you're unclear on what you value, then you'll have trouble communicating that to others."
She also stressed the importance of communicating your needs in an assertive way: You respectfully and clearly tell someone what you want.
Moshiri noted that setting boundaries is "saying no to people and things that would jeopardize you honoring your own needs." She shared these examples: saying no to a friend's invitation because you're tired and staying in would help you to feel relaxed and refreshed; saying no to taking on more clients or projects, even though you're capable of doing so; saying no to adding another sport or extracurricular activity for your kids. (Because, as Moshiri said, your kids don't need a perfect schedule or parent; they need a happy parent who rests when you need to rest, and says no when your to-do list gets too long.)
According to Renee, if you don't feel comfortable saying no, offer an alternative, such as: "I'm unable to speak at the conference, but I know someone else in my field who would be amazing at it!" It's also helpful to have some canned responses to lessen your anxiety and discomfort over setting boundaries, she said.
Live according to your values. According to Rubinstein, we can live our values through small acts. For example, if adventure is an important value for you, you frequently try new restaurants, new foods, and new hiking trails. If courage is a value, you speak up for yourself during work meetings and face fears like public speaking.
To identify your core values, Rubinstein suggested finding a list of core values (like this one), and circling the ones that resonate with you. Then narrow your values down to five. Think about how you can act on these values on a daily basis.
"Keep in mind that your values are fluid and can change. You can repeat this exercise every month or couple months and see what values change and which remain the same," she added.
Talk to yourself with kindness. Start off by acknowledging small victories, Rubinstein said. "This could mean acknowledging efforts at work or at school, being proud of yourself for tackling tasks on a to-do list, or practicing gratitude for qualities about yourself that you like."
Also, be kind to yourself when you're in pain (versus saying you need to snap out of it, or you shouldn't feel this way). For instance, you might say: "This is a moment of suffering," or "This hurts"; and "Suffering is a part of life, or "I'm not alone"; and "May I be kind to myself," or "May I learn to accept myself as I am."
Carve out one-on-one time. According to Moshiri, this is one of the best ways we can show up for ourselves. How you spend this time will vary. That is, your alone time might be a 20-minute meditation, or it might be a 5-minute body scan. It might be waking up 10 minutes earlier so you can sip your coffee on the porch in silence. Or it might be spending half the day attending an art exhibit, and then taking yourself out to lunch.
Nourish your body. This looks different for everyone, too, Renee said. But at its core, nourishing our bodies includes getting enough sleep and participating in physical activities, she said. Some of Renee's clients find yoga, massages, and laughter to be invaluable for nourishing their bodies.
Showing up for ourselves may feel unfamiliar. And that's OK. Because the more you set boundaries, prioritize your needs, live by your values, approach yourself with kindness, carve out alone time, and nurture your body, the more comfortable it'll become—and the more your beliefs will shift to Yes, I matter. Of course, I do. I always have.

text: The Little Things Campaign Lung Cancer Foundation of America (LCFA) We found that people associate negative stigmas to lung cancer and that it was overshadowed by other cancers. With this in mind, our team came up with "The Little Things"; A socially driven campaign that asked people to share the reasons why they were grateful for their lungs and to spread it through social media by using the hashtag #TheLittleThings. We wanted to remind the audience of the little gifts of life made possible by our lungs, and hoped to inspired people with positivity. As the lead creative & Sr. Art Director, I took part in concepting the idea and created the storyboards with the help of a copywriter. Once the idea was approved, I designed the logo, created multiple print collateral, then worked on location with a small production team to shoot the hero video. I was involved in every step, from selecting the talent to approving shots. Once the project was complete, I lead the creation of the case study video by creating the storyboards with a copywriter and made sure they were executed.

Even if you have read the books and watched the other television specials about their life, you will still find enjoyment in "William and Kate: The Journey," the Reelz network mini documentary series about Kate and William's relationship, wedding, and children. As a devoted royal follower, watching this series — which consists of old video clips of the couple and several Kate and William "experts," mostly tabloid editors who seem to relish recalling the times they breathed the same rarified air as the couple — essentially just reminded me that watching Kate Middleton emerge from her royal mobile on her wedding day in her Alexander McQueen dress for the first time will never not be exciting. Here are some choice highlights from the series:
1. For his gap year, Prince William decided to go to Chile, where his lifestyle was decidedly unlike that of someone who resides in palaces. He cleaned toilet floors:
Cooked porridge for breakfast:
And even carried this large, pointy log around:
He also slept in an old nursery classroom with 16 other people and! He had to chop his own firewood for heating and cooking his porridge and more.
2. Tabloid editors were tempted to run tons of paparazzi photos of Kate Middleton when she and William were dating — but restrained themselves. As soon as it became clear they were an item, photographers started tailing her. However, British tabloid editors didn't want to be responsible for putting her in a dangerous situation like Princess Diana, who died in a car accident following a chase by paparazzi in Paris. So they agreed to only publish photos of her when she was with William.
3. Kate's mom was a flight attendant and met her dad, a pilot, on a plane.
4. Kate's parents own a party supply company, the cutely named Party Pieces, which is currently showcasing a "flamingo fun" theme and (perhaps therefore unsurprisingly) has made them quite successful. "[They] invested in education" is one of Reelz's royals expert's way of explaining that they used their Party Pieces cash to send their kids to private school.
5. Kate attended Marlborough College, where she was bullied. It's hard to accept that fair Kate was ever anything other than sterilized perfection, but it gets worse. When the girls walked into the dining hall, a royals expert explains, the boys would hold up signs rating their attractiveness. Kate frequently got a 0 or 2.
6. That said, she quickly grew into "the girl every parent wants as a daughter," as one of these experts puts it. She got involved in a potpourri of good-girl activities — she sang in choir and became the captain of the lacrosse team. One of the Reelz experts adds, "As she filled out a little bit and she got some color in her cheeks and she became more assured, the attraction grew, and she was a very popular person."
7. There is nothing dark in Kate Middleton's past, which — of course there's not. Otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to marry Prince William. Anyway, as the OK editor who was interviewed for this series explains, with an undercurrent of resentment in her voice, "There has been so little that's come out of her past that's scandalous, or some incident where she was rude to somebody, or bullying — I mean, there's nothing!"
8. This is what Prince Williams arrival at St. Andrews, where he met Kate, was like:
And you thought your first day at school was bad!
9. Prince William started falling in love with Kate when he saw her walk in a student fashion show wearing a see-through tube dress with some underwear-type stuff underneath.
Let's turn to our friend the OK editor for some analysis: "She really got William's attention that day. You know, for all that has been said about Kate's somewhat dull, somewhat pedestrian personality, the girl knows how to get attention when she wants it, and she did a really good job that day of getting the attention of probably the one man she really wanted." One of her talents, apparently, is wearing see-through tube dresses for the sole purpose of getting attention from royal men ...
10. William never used his money or position to impress Kate. Instead of sitting front row at rock concerts and him buying her diamonds, they lived in a little cottage when they attended St. Andrews and he tried to cook noodles for her. An editor of the Sun says, "He wooed her by cooking spaghetti bologneses and sitting around in old jumpers." Sexy!
11. Tabloid editors seem to really resent that Kate isn't as interesting as Diana. "Kate doesn't have the same kind of charisma or X factor that Diana has," the OK editor says. "However, Kate's beauty, her elegance, and her innate sense of what looks good on her is going to take her very far." See? If she's nothing else, she's a woman who wears dresses and that's all that matters for females in the year 2016.
12. Kate was very involved in the planning of her wedding. She even created mood boards for her cake maker. Of course, in addition to being an expert dress wearer, she did work for her parents at Party Pieces, so she has some expertise in these things, theoretically. Even though her sister Pippa is the one who wrote a book about party planning, Kate surely — surely — would have had far more clever tips than, "You can cut up your chicken into portions consisting of the drumstick, thigh, breast, and wing."
All I can say is I hope the Pippa documentary is next.
William and Kate: The Journey premieres Monday, April 18, on Reelz.

Sibling rivalries are common. Most brothers and sisters will disagree and fight with each other. This is how children learn to deal with conflict. It is also the way in which children work out their place in the family. Siblings may compete for your attention and feel jealous of a brother or sister, particularly just after the birth of a new baby. Helping children deal with conflict and learn to get along will help them to form successful relationships outside of the family, too.
Let your children express their feelings. A child can become frustrated and angry if misunderstood. Acknowledging that these feelings are real and important can diffuse a situation before it gets out of hand. Use the correct words when talking about anger and frustration. Try saying, "I can see that you are angry right now." This lets your child know that you understand and want to help.
Comparing children to one another can cause jealousy and resentment. Never make comments such as, "Why is you room never as tidy as your brother's?" or "Can't you help with the chores like your sister?" Instead, tell your child exactly what is bothering you and what you want them to do. Your children need to know that you appreciate them for who they are, so make sure you treat each child as an individual and never play favorites. Let your child know what it is that you love about them.
Keeping Out
If your children are bickering with one another, don't take sides. Avoid always blaming one child for starting a fight or causing an argument. Comment on what you can see rather than on who you think started the argument – even if you know who it was. It is tempting to step in and try to manage conflict situations but give your children the space and time to try and sort minor conflicts out for themselves. Don't interfere as long as they are not hurting each other. Let them negotiate with each other and try to resolve the situation on their own.
Stepping In
If your children are hurting each other and their arguing is becoming aggressive and dangerous, you must step in. Set a good example by remaining calm, even if you are angry inside. Once the situation is safe, give each child some time and space to calm down. You might need some alone time, too.
Setting an Example
You can help siblings to resolve their conflicts by teaching strategies such as taking turns to speak during a discussion and not interrupting others. Show your children the correct way to speak to each other and how to treat other people. Demonstrate sharing a toy rather than grabbing it from someone else, and show your children how to take turns.

Here are the week's top stories, and a look ahead.
1. A reminder to start off: If you live in the U.S., Canada or Mexican cities along the U.S. border, make sure you've set your clocks and watches forward an hour. (Europe switches March 26.)
As the change may affect your sleep routine in the coming nights, this quiz assessing what kind of sleeper you are can help you adjust. Or you can try these tips.
2. The time change signals spring's imminent arrival, but springlike weather has arrived more than three weeks earlier than usual in some parts of the U.S. Research shows a strong link to climate change.
The new chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, said carbon dioxide was not a primary contributor to global warming, contradicting the consensus scientific view on climate change.
We also looked at President Trump's conflicting views on the subject.
3. Can Paul Ryan get to 218?
That's how many votes the House speaker will need to send the Republicans' replacement plan for the Affordable Care Act to the Senate. Some rebellious members of the party say it will be "dead on arrival."
Here's our look at the causes of the revolt, our assessment that the bill would hurt supporters of Mr. Trump the most and a nonpartisan panel's conclusion that it would give tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office's official judgment on the plan's cost and impact is expected Monday, and it could make or break the bill.
4. The Trump administration unexpectedly ordered 46 holdover U.S. attorneys to quit. One, the powerful Manhattan prosecutor Preet Bharara, above, was fired after refusing to do so.
Mr. Trump's allies outside the government had been calling for the dismissal of appointees from President Barack Obama's administration.
Separately, Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump's ousted national security adviser, acknowledged that he worked as a foreign agent last year representing the interests of the Turkish government in a dispute with the U.S.
5. Celebrities are thought to be covered in figurative stardust, but it turns out there is a sprinkling of the real stuff around all of us.
An international team concluded that space dust is found on buildings, parking lots, sidewalks and park benches.
The team's leader? A noted Norwegian jazz musician who became so fascinated by these micrometeorites that he refocused his life.
6. In other science news, some of the alarm over the mosquito-borne Zika virus is receding, more than a year after it was declared a global health emergency.
But for families of Zika babies, like several we followed in Brazil's impoverished northeast, the disastrous effects are only deepening. If you want to help those coping with Zika, here's how.
7. The ouster of South Korea's president, being celebrated above in Seoul, is reshaping the geopolitical map of East Asia.
Stability and North Korea's recent missile tests will be high on the agenda as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson visits the region this week, with stops in Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo.
But some global allies fear that the Trump presidency's harsh language toward minorities, the news media, migrants and the European Union, as well as his praise for authoritarian leaders, is eroding Washington's moral authority. Hawaii is suing to block Mr. Trump's revised travel ban.
8. The F.B.I. is hunting for the source who gave WikiLeaks a huge cache of documents revealing tools and techniques the C.I.A. uses to break into smartphones, computers and even smart TVs. The likeliest culprit is a disaffected insider.
We have a handy guide for how to protect your devices from being breached.
One scholar says the documents actually show that the C.I.A. finds encrypted communications apps very difficult to break into. Above, the agency's headquarters in Langley, Va.
9. The longest streak of private-sector job growth in U.S. history has continued into the first full month of Mr. Trump's term.
The Labor Department said the economy added 235,000 jobs in February. U.S. stock indexes reacted positively, but declined over all for the week.
Apprenticeship programs to train American workers will be a topic when Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Mr. Trump meet on Tuesday. We investigated how many profitable Fortune 500 companies pay no taxes. Some even got rebates.
10. Among our favorite features this week: The Times Magazine's music issue, exploring which songs best capture our moment. You can listen to the tracks and enjoy a bonus podcast.
And have you ever seen a pink lake or what looks like a piece of cosmic ravioli?
11. The Jewish holiday of Purim began Saturday night, and Hindus are celebrating their spring festival of colors, Holi.
The unofficial three-week sports holiday — a.k.a. March Madness — begins today, with the selection of men's and women's college basketball teams in the N.C.A.A. tournament.
Meanwhile, Russia's centennial of its revolution will not be honored.
12. The good news: Chance the Rapper contributed $1 million to Chicago's public school system; the cast of "Hamilton" donated their salaries from an evening performance to support low-income women; and an 86-year-old man who has collected paper and aluminum products for decades gave $400,000 to a children's home in Georgia.
Also smile-inspiring: the two children who interrupted their father during a TV interview, and the 5-year-old girl headed for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Have a great week.

Spades are trump, East to lead. Declarer faces her hand and claims " cross ruffing". Makes no mention of the outstanding ♠9 (miss counted trumps) and then argues that if East ruffs the second ♦ she would over ruff with the ♠T, the normal play. Is she correct? or might she under ruff, a rather careless play? Another possibility is that if East were to exit a ♥ at trick 9 might declarer ruff with the ♠T

In terms of California vacations, we often consider nothing greater than sunny Los Angeles. Now their passion for traveling has them running their own business, planning amazing trips for individuals who have a limited funds and love the ingredient of shock.

When the editor is completed with an article, it is going to be unlocked and thought of "achieved." Some articles could also be edited over an extended period of time, and editors will be certain that articles are left in a presentable state each time they save changes to a capsule.
The Map Capsule is a good way to add an attractive, helpful dimension to articles on travel, purchasing, eating places, historical occasions, sports, and pretty much anything.

Bryn Mawr Senior Care Provider Neighborly Home Care Shares Money-Saving Tips for Seniors
According to the US Federal Reserve, more than one-third of seniors have reported "major financial stress" in the last three years. As stress is a significant complicating factor in many challenges facing seniors, both physical and mental, senior care provider Neighborly Home Care would like to share some tips for seniors who want to save money or cut their budgets.
Financial Tips for Seniors
- If you no longer need a four-bedroom home, consider moving into something smaller with no payments. Utilities will be less for a smaller home too.
- Pay annually whenever possible. Longer-term payments almost always cost less than smaller increments such as monthly payments.
- Only go shopping once a week. Doing so limits impulse purchases, and encourages smart planning of shopping trips ahead of time.
- Find a grocery buddy. Two or more people going grocery shopping can take better advantage of bulk deals, and split the savings.
- Buy generic whenever possible. With generic food, medicine, and cleaning supplies, the differences are usually negligible and the bill can be much lower.
- Investigate new Medicare/Insurance options. Recent changes in the health care market could make a big difference in senior coverage and costs.
- Look for inexpensive entertainment. Fishing and walking are free and get you outside. In addition, community centers often offer low cost memberships that allow participants to join exercise classes, movie events and other outings at no additional charge.
- Avoid buying books, movies, or music. Look for cheaper streaming alternatives such as Netflix or Spotify, or just go to the local library.
- Always ask about senior discounts. Some businesses have unadvertised benefits for seniors.
- Reduce energy use. Unplug unused devices and consider heating only frequently-used rooms.
A budget-smart senior can be less stressed, and Neighborly Home Care wants to help seniors stretch their budgets a little further this year.
Neighborly Home Care Offers Compassionate Senior Care in Bryn Mawr and Surrounding Communities.
Neighborly Home Care is a trusted Bryn Mawr elderly care service provider, dedicated to giving excellent care and creating peace-of-mind for both seniors and their families. We offer a wide range of services, including periodic check-ins, driving services, and 24-hour care, which are custom-tailored to allow each senior the most possible freedom in their lives while still ensuring they are well cared-for in a familiar environment.

Linoleum and vinyl floors have been enjoying somewhat of a resurgence, and while the materials may have been able to shed their dull, tired reputation, there's still some things homeowners should be wary of when installing these floors.
Here we take a look at some of the most common and easiest mistakes to make when installing, and how to avoid them.
1. Not reading the instructions about adhesive
Flooring instructions are given for a good reason and they are there to be followed. Nowhere is this more important than when using adhesive. Be sure to wear a ventilation mask and keep your property well ventilated if you are advised to do so in the fitting manual.
2. Sloppy glue application
The saying goes if you're going to do, do it properly. And with DIY firmly on the rise, more and more people will be inclined to fit their vinyl themselves. So with that in mind, one of the most important things to remember is to ensure you lay a smooth layer of glue which covers all corners of the room. Top quality glues can be bought at all leading flooring companies. Once you have done the work consider getting a Property inspection app from sources including https://propertyinspect.com
3. Cutting the "open time" short
To lay smooth vinyl, floor adhesive must be left for a certain amount of time before the floor itself can be laid. Ensure you read the instructions properly to determine how long to leave your glue for.
4. Putting off glue clean up
If you leave unwanted patches of glue to dry, you'll have to use solvent to remove them. However, if cleaned up straight away, a simple mix of warm water, a cleaning rag and elbow grease should do the trick.
5. Neglecting to roll
Vinyl and linoleum floors should be rolled out from the middle with a roller to ensure for a smooth finish.
6. Treating your vinyl badly
After carefully installing your flooring to ensure for a perfect finish, the last thing you want to do is damage it. So, make sure you remove any high heels before walking on the vinyl and invest in pads for any furniture.
By taking heed of these quick and simple tips, not only can you plan for a seamless installation, but also keep your vinyl looking pristine for years to come.

Mine took a year to write. Three months to edit. Three months of queries (and no agent bites) before Avalon showed interest by requesting the full. They turned it down for their reasons, and I've been sitting on Bliss Lake ever since. I thought about more edits, some embellishments. I considered reworking the format, deepening the plot, adding another POV. I even spent some time giving it another go, trying to make it work.
But I recently decided to shelve it. Bliss Lake and I are cutting ties for now. Maybe for always.
It was shorter than most agents and publishers choose to consider. My characters, much as I loved them, weren't fleshed-out enough. The story, as I thought it was meant to be told, didn't have emotional depth, no pulling weight.
It just wasn't good enough. Not as my writing needs to be. As good as I want it to be.
But it was worth it, because I learned so much. I delved into the craft, started finding my voice. Experienced the rush of words, the effort of discipline, the draw of the story. I learned I can write a novel. All from my first attempt.
It was excellent practice.
What ever happened to your first novel?

I do believe my mother threw it away.
I was 11.
I had typed it out at the high school, and drawn all the illustrations. I was crushed.
(I even sent it to a Big Publishing House in a manila folder I begged off the art teacher.)
Don't give up! *hug*

This is such an honest post...my first novel sits alone by itself and despite having had a non-fiction pubbed, my first crack at fiction just doesn't seem to spark any interest. I'm thinking that it was a learning experience, but there's that part of me that wonders if I should still try to sell it and not give up. In the meantime, I've begun two other novels...

Hey, getting a book written is in itself a GREAT accomplishment. Then to be successful enough with a query to get a full read is fantastic.
My first "book" is a technical manual on aircraft corrosion control and it sits unpublished on my bottom bookcase shelf. I have a screenplay (currently being read by a producer) and I am working to slowly wrap up my first novel.
Never give up!

Do you mean the first one I finished? Snort! There was one started in middle school, never finished. As an adult, I started one and spent two years literally pecking at it. I didn't get serious about writing until someone mentioned I should try to get published. See, I'd started writing the first story without even thinking of publication. So I got down to business and churned out a historical romance but revisions and stuff made me take almost two years. Then I started querying a year ago. I still have a partial out. :-) I haven't given up on this one yet, but if it does need to be shelved, I think I can accept that.

My first novel and I haven't spoke in a couple weeks. We are having a few differences of opinion. It wants me to change words...I like the words the way they are :)
It's on a shelf for now and I recently started a new novel, which I am also struggling with.
I'm wondering if I should be working in a different genre, but I don't have any ideas in any other genres.

Like last week, my computer crashed years ago, this was before I knew anything about backing up, and I lost 150 pages, never to be recovered!
My next novel, which I finished the end of 2008, is sitting in a drawer. I feel the urge to resurrect it, but don't know if I will give in.
My first love in writing is short stories and I'm focusing on them, but this weekend a novel length story crashed into my writing and I've been scratching out pages!
Oh, what to do!?
Just because you had a rejection, don't give up! Your story is probably publishable but you just haven't found the right agent/editor. Persevere!!!!!

Jen - Aw, that is devastating. I wonder what you'd find if you could get your hands on it and read it one last time?
Becca - I'm glad you piped up, because I didn't want to discount short story writers like you. :)
ajgallion - Thanks for stopping by! I love seeing new faces. And good for you! I think starting something new (even if we do eventually go back to another novel) is very important.
Angie - LOL! For your sake, I hope the same. :D
Welcome, Marty! Thanks so much for the words of encouragement, and good luck to you. Wow!
Jessica - Yeah, there were some I started as a kid that petered out and lost momentum, too. High hopes for that partial!
Marybeth, thanks for visiting! I so know that feeling. My advice is to not stress over genre at all right now. Don't even think about it. Just brainstorm and plot and come up with your next idea. Then write it as you feel it should be written. Later, much later, you can tag a genre on it. It will tell you. Good luck!

How long did Avalon take to get back to you? They've had a requested complete of mine for months and I'm wondering if they forgot about me!
Rejection is part of it...and it sucks. But I've found usually if I have more than one thing out at a time it cushions the blow a little because there's always hope one of the others will come through.
- July 27, 2009 at 8:30 AM
- Janna Leadbetter said...
Donna - Thank goodness for backing up! I understand your heart being in both kinds of writing. And I think you should appease both desires; work on that new novel whenever the urge comes. And your creativity will stay fresh with the shorter stuff.
Jenna - Pooh, that reminds me of the lost 3-1/2" disk I can't find anywhere. :( But it's good to see you again!

Don't feel bad. Even the big authors didn't sell their first book. Actually, I don't know of ANYONE who has.
I've shelved my YA series (because I'm no longer teaching and am out of that "world"). I left my first romantic suspense unedited to write the next book because I liked the story better. After completing it, I decided to rewrite most of it. Ugh! It's been quite a challenge, but I like the new version a lot better. I'm at 65% now (as of this morning), so I'm getting there. Yay!

- July 27, 2009 at 8:32 AM
- Janna Leadbetter said...
Stephanie - It was three business days from receipt of my query to the full request; about a month for the rejection. Maybe you could send a follow-up letter? Good luck! And you're right, having other stuff to work on is nice padding. :)
- July 27, 2009 at 8:34 AM
- Janna Leadbetter said...
Lynnette - You know, I'm beginning to think everyone needs a first, "practice" novel. We have to test everything out, you know? There's so much to learn. Great job on your rewrites! Good luck.

How did you *know* it was time to cut ties. An agent has mine...waiting...

- Janna Leadbetter said...
Oh Wendy, good luck! It was only the last month or so that it became clear to me, when I found my current project had so much potential, and just determined I want to be better. Up until that point I kept stringing it along. But it's definitely a personal decision. I think if it happened for you, you'd know. Maybe the agent will decide for you. ;)

What a heartening thing to write. I so get this.. all our writing is meaningful, whether published or not. Especially a first novel like your one. And judging from all the comments... you have raised a good subject!!

I have revised my first book about 5 times I think. It was accepted last year by the publisher in England and I pulled it when they kept changing their part of the contract. So I cleaned it up some more and it is out there waiting for it's second rejection:)) Or is that third??
- July 27, 2009 at 10:05 AM
I haven't given up on mine yet. It is a bit short but its mine and I believe in it, the words, the characters, etc. Maybe after a few rounds of rejections I may set it aside, but not yet.

I had a ton of bites on my first novel - and they all ultimately passed. THANK THE LORD. That novel wasn't ready to be put out into the world yet. I've learned so much since I wrote it.
- July 27, 2009 at 10:37 AM
- Janna Leadbetter said...
Ladybird - I think that's the brunt of my point; that even though my first didn't get as far as I may have dreamed, it sure took me to new levels. You expressed it well!
Kristen - Great for you!
Terri - Your journey is leading you somewhere special!
Rafael - That determination is key! And I don't mind at all. :)
Melissa - Amen! :)

Oh boy...let's see...the first novel I wrote I started when I was 12 and finished when I was 15. I think it ended up somewhere near novel length, so I was happy. But it was terrible. Long gone but not forgotten. I learned that I could finish and entire novel, and more, that I had a passion for writing.

My first attempt at writing was lost in a cross country move. I was 14. My first full novel, I am hoping will make it to book form someday. I'm shopping it around to agents right now.
Now that you have shelved the first, are you ready to write another?

- Susan R. Mills said...
It's been sitting for a while. I hope to return to it someday, but for now, I'm moving on!

- Melanie Hooyenga said...
I'm querying mine. I'm terrified right now that mine will have to be shelved, but it's too soon for me to decide that just yet. Fingers crossed.
Janna, I want to snuggle on the couch with you over a cup of coffee. That's such a tough decision!

I think it has yours and Jenna's novels.

I was just thinking about it while reading a book with a similar set up. And I miss it! I might have to go back and read it for old time sake. Except I'll probably be gagging over all the new-writer-mistakes I made!

My first novel is just sitting around on my computer.
I asked a few people to read it and only one person actually gave me feedback. I'm really curious why the other people never did what they promised to do.
That was a big turnoff and stopped me from doing anything else with the book.

- Kara said...
Good for you on learning so much from your first novel. I can't seem to finish mine because I keep changing course, which I know is wrong. I just need to finish!
- July 27, 2009 at 10:16 PM
- Lori said...
Mine is slowly going the same path as your Bliss Lake. I feel stronger and stronger that it's not worth it and I can do better than that. But it's such a hard decision! I don't know if I can really make it. Hugs!

- Janna Leadbetter said...
Cindy - So that was a huge distance down your career path!
quixotic - I hope you hear good news! And I'm glad you asked, because I wasn't clear in the post: Yep, I've been working on other stuff all along, and feel my current WIP may have the good stuff. :)
Lazy Writer - Sometimes I think moving on is important.
Melanie - Well, as evidenced by a few comments here, some first novels have what it takes. Hang in there! And a hoo snuggle with coffee sounds perfect. :)
Oh gosh, Jill, I did that! It wasn't over-the-top horrible, but I wanted to tear my hair out over some of the things I did. Mortifying! I just hope my brain knows not to do it again. :)
Travis - I can't tell if that's a good thing or bad, but knowing you, bad? ;)
Janet - My fingers are still crossed!
- July 28, 2009 at 7:35 AM
- Janna Leadbetter said...
Kathy - How long has it been? Maybe the time and distance gave you fresh eyes, and it would be worth revisiting.
Kara - I think that's the key with the first one. Finish it! And then go back. Good luck!
Lori - You'll know if it comes to that for you. I didn't want to let go, and then one day it just seemed the perfect thing to keep it to myself. I'm just moving ahead with bigger and better things, but I'm still glad I got that story out. I think I had to get it out before I could do more, you know?

Well, my very first novel is long gone. I wrote them in high school. Friends would take each page as I finished and pass it around. Never got the pages back. My first adult novel is shelved. Somewhere. Or maybe lost with one of many hard drive crashes.
Save yours. Maybe you'll go back to it one day. Or maybe you'll pull bits from it for another project. Or maybe one day your grandchildren will read it.

Sadly I haven't finished any of them. Yup them. I have 3 in some stage of completion. Although now that I have more time on my hands, maybe I'll take one back up and just finish it.
there's always the dream.

Wow, shelving it huh? Well, I shelved my first novel for 12 years. Now I've rewritten it, and 10 months later I'm itching to work more on it. It's getting there, but not there yet. It's been a very good experience for me. First I have to finish my 3rd novel, Monarch. The 2nd novel is another story, haha. Good luck with your work! No writing is every wasted writing. Remember that projects can always be revisited.
- July 28, 2009 at 10:37 AM
- Janna Leadbetter said...
Helen - Good advice! I'll definitely save it. I'd thought about picking up years from now, but maybe there will be cause to use a scene or character in another story altogether. Thanks!
LA - You've already done so much work, I know you can do it! Finish!
Lady - "No writing is ever wasted writing." I love that. Need to post it in my work area. Thanks! And good luck with yours (even number 2). ;)

The first one became TG - but the first Virginia Kate was very different from the one who became Tender Graces....so, in a way, the "first novel" is still in my files, but what morphed from that first novel became the my debut novel...did that just make sense?
You will visit BL again - you will.

Jenn - So no one can say you didn't try, huh? :) Good luck!
- July 28, 2009 at 9:20 PM
Wow! Lots of comments on a great post.
My first novel was done in eight months and then (LOL) was edited off and on for 5 years. Yep. Life got in the way so it sat. When I got back to it, I was in such a different place that it didn't fit me anymore, so I completely revamped it. Queried and queried and got no takers...so it's kind of shelved for now, but I will query again at some point.
I did learn so very much from the process and started a second novel, so I never look at my first "baby" as a failure. It turned me into a writer, and I can say I've written a novel.
Great thought-provoking post, Janna!

Late to the party!
Mine is sitting on a thumb drive. I wrote it two years ago. 82K in two months. But I haven't even started editing on it, probably for the same reason. I think I could do better, and I am growing as a writer with each new WIP. Who knows, I may go back to that first one.
Great Post!

Kashmiri leaders woo voters before the first phase of multi-phase electionNovember 16th, 2008 - 9:52 pm ICT by ANI
Jammu, Nov 16 (ANI): Former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir and People''s Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mufti Mohammed Sayeed on Sunday said to resolve Kashmir problem concede something to the people of Kashmir.
Sayeed was addressing a news conference in Jammu today ahead of the seven-phase polling, which will begin from November 17, and end on December 24.
Our agenda of self-rule is in the realm of possibility. We don"t want to talk in imagination, we say that if you want to address alienation of people of Jammu and Kashmir, if you want to resolve the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, if you have to finish the uncertainties, then you have to concede something to the people of Kashmir, Sayeed told reporters in Jammu.
On the other hand pro-India political parties say elections will not resolve the dispute in Kashmir, where officials say about 43,000 people have died in violence involving Muslim militants and Indian troops. Human rights groups put the toll at 60,000.
Sayeed also added that his party wants the state to act as a "bridge" of friendship between the neighbouring nations.
If people support us and we succeed, we will resolve the Kashmir issue. As we have said that Jammu of Kashmir, which had been a bone of contention between our country and Pakistan, we will make it a bridge, said he.
Thousands of troops will guard the vote in one of the world''s most militarised regions, which witnessed some of the biggest pro-independence demonstrations this year since a separatist revolt against Indian rule in the Himalayan region broke out in 1989.
Separatist leaders have called for a boycott. They say New Delhi will use draconian anti-terror laws and its thousands of troops to try to legitimize their rule.
New Delhi believes the separatists are a small and often violent group. The government hopes the vote will see a high turnout for the parties — all of which broadly accept New Delhi''s rule — competing in the vote.
The PDP took power at the head of a coalition following the last state election in 2002, ending a two-decade rule by the National Conference. But now the state is under direct rule after the violent protests.
It will be the third vote in the state since an insurgency began in 1989.
In the past, separatist guerrillas have attacked and killed scores of candidates and political workers, vandalised polling stations and attacked rallies to thwart elections.
But an estimated 500,000 Indian troops are stationed in the region to defend the frontier, fight separatist militants and now provide security to the elections. (ANI)

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Lately, it seems like a new coding academy opens nearly every day. But these startups that promise to teach newbies everything they need to know to get a development job in just weeks are starting to come under fire.
"Programming boot camps can't serve as a substitute for formal training or real-world experience," says Jon LeBlanc, head of developer evangelism at PayPal. "If you want to advance in your career, you need to have a complete understanding of languages and concepts that is developed far beyond the limits of a 12-week course."
Drew Sussberg, VP of sales and recruiting for staffing firm Workbridge Associates adds, "If you have good communications skills, are presentable, and can pass a technical interview, [coding academy graduates] are as likely to land a job as anyone with a four-year degree who interviews for it. But I do have clients who won't interview people coming out of one of these programs because they believe they don't have the skills required to do the job."
But the academies defend their records. "While I was at college I never learned the fundamentals of software engineering, never wrote code in the same room with an instructor, never learned the tactics and tools of debugging," explained Shawn Drost, co-founder of Hack Reactor. "There's an amazing amount of wasted time in the college system. We don't waste time here."

After reading last week's less than desirable fortune, you probably vowed to never check your horoscope ever again. But alas, here we are. Sadly, this week is most likely not getting any better for you… soz not soz. As always, we're here to suggest places for you to hide/cry/celebrate and things for you to make/ingest/scull.
Well what are you waiting for? Here's what you're *really* in for this week.
It looks like your next couple of days are shaping up to be crappier than today's weather forecast. We're talking gloomy with a 95% chance of sh*t storm, and that's putting it lightly. Might want to ease up on the old passive aggressiveness to avoid locking horns with your coworkers. Things will all clear up at the end of the month, hang in there.
You should also probs stop making these majorly cringe-worthy mistakes on Tinder.
If it were professionally acceptable to do so, you'd list 'ridiculously needy' and 'over-emotional' as top skills on your resume. So just keep in mind that when your friends crack it at you for tagging them in too many memes this month, don't take it personally. Maybe relax with the tags… at least until Uranus has exited your second house.
Maybe checking out this botanical emporium might alleviate some of the pain.
NASA would never admit this, but just between us, we have pretty good reason to believe Jupiter nearly collided with Venus this month. Consider this near-miss atmospheric catastrophe your green light from the Powers That Be to get that lil' extra bit rowdy this week. Any chance you get. Did you forget to wear undies tomorrow?
Need some ideas to get you started? Here's five of them.
Here's the vir-dict. This week Mars is coming in hot and your House of Commotion is very much ignited. By the end of today, a galaxy-sized dose of drama is very much a go. You may as well consider yourself Melbourne's next hit reality TV show, for this month at least.
Don't feel like leaving the house after reading that bombshell? Perhaps you could stay in and make your own mulled wine.
It's time to accept that some things will just never work… like the soft serve machine at Maccas. Being friends with your ex? Basically the same deal. Your penchant for flirting is a reminder that you need to start paying attention to those on-the-go's you've been neglecting. This week the Mercury is definitely rising, and we're not just talking about your planet.
You're not the only one in Melbs with the 'hot lips'. Cheers to Hot Lips Hacienda, you've got competition.
Your fight to stay determined last month will soon be a thing of the past. This week, things are looking up. All that recent action in the gym is going to result in some real action (winky face). You've even inspired your lurrrrrv planet to do cartwheels in space this week.
Just to make sure you're on the right track, maybe get some last min squats in at Gymmy Squatz. Squat hard or go home.
Oops you did it again. Britney would be glad to hear it, but your friends sure as hell aren't. You drunk texted bae on the weekend again and according to the stars, 'wyd' at 5am doesn't deserve a reply. What can we say, Sagittarius, you're irresponsible AF, and being witty has never been your trump card. This week your lucky stars are here to help you out. You've got better luck teed up for this weekend.
You're friends are getting engaged and you can't even get a text back? We get it, life's a bitch. But a Rustica Crème Brûlée doughnut can fix that.
The only drive you've had recently is the one to get ice-cream. The middle of this month will send your planets totally out of whack. But remember that goal you set at the start of the year? It's not going to achieve itself. As we speak, Saturn is aligning itself perfectly just for you, act now for best results. Don't let it do all the work.
Can't make sense of anything cause you can't see clearly? That's nothing Dresden Optics can't sort out.
Like the autumn leaves still hanging around (seriously what's up with that?), your struggle to move on is v real. There are some major movements happening in your fifth house at the end of this week. Fate's got you sorted.
Believe it or not, you will make it through the winter. And because sharing is caring, here's our tips on how.
Noticed all those hawwwties you've been crossing paths with recently? Well watch out for the super tall one you locks eyes with for an extended period of time on Friday night. Like the black cat, they're bad luck. Avoid eye contact like the plague.
But just in case you end up making accidental eye contact, you can always jet off to Goa. We'll just leave these 7 reasons here, you know, in case of emergency.
Your impartiality to psychotic and irrational behaviour has meant you've submitted to all kinds of questionable behaviors last week. Those winter sales you've been getting around recently? They're like a drug. They can get you high as the sky and leave you feeling the lowest of lows. All this retail 'therapy' isn't going to fix those problems you've been tucking away. You should start sorting them out before your orbits combust.
Side note: we hear making your own cocktails can be quite therapeutic.
Can't beat em', join em'. This week for you folks it's all about jumping on the bandwagon. That fashion trend you've been too nervy to pull off? Do it. Changing your profile picture twice in one month? Consider it done. Go on, be a devil. That falling star didn't explode for nothin'.
Can't decide where to start? We've found 17 free things for you to do in Melbourne this month. Getting on board, won't cost ya a thing.

In God I find a precious gift
That knows no fear, no feud,
That glows so still, serene and pure:
The gift of gratitude.
– Christian Science Hymnal, #146
Monday is my errand-running, photo-taking, take-time-to-create-something, walk-on-the-Bellingham-boardwalk day. It is a sacred day for me – the day I set aside every week to be an explorer, and an earth-tourist. I am hugely grateful for the gift of Monday.
With confidence it hails each task,
With courage undismayed,
For naught against Infinity
Can ever be arrayed.
– Christian Science Hymnal, #`146
I had a boatload to accomplish yesterday – needed to prepare readings for Wednesday night, mark my books for Thanksgiving, and choose hymns for Wednesday, Thanksgiving and the Sunday morning church services; had photos and writing I needed to print; books and packages that needed to be mailed; food for Thanksgiving that needed to be picked up; and a Thanksgiving service that needed to be rehearsed. When I looked at all that needed to be done, I was a little overwhelmed. But, taking each thing one at a time, step-by-step, trusting in God, Love, I was able to get the bulk of it done by noon.
The oldest son is home from university, and at noon – just about the time I'd finished getting most of my to-do list done – asked me if I was planning to go up to Bellingham for my walk. I told him I was, and asked him if he'd like to join me. Within the hour both my sons had joined me for an expedition to Bellingham's Boulevard Park.
It was good to be all together again – good to hear the rascally sons laughing with each other again, wonderful to be able to sit down together at Mambo's Italian Restaurant, eating pizza and calzones, and talking about books we're reading, plans for the future, good memories from the past. It was just good to be in the same space and time together.
So much good! Family and friends, home, satisfying work, endless opportunities to give and share and love…
I am enjoying the moments of Life. Right now. I'm not going to wait for Thanksgiving to be grateful. The gift of gratitude is one gift we don't need to wait to open. 🙂
Thank you, Life!
In seamless gratitude I weave
A silent, healing prayer,
With shining threads of ceaseless joy;
For man is God's great heir.
– Christian Science Hymnal, #`146
