Against the odds.

Always do your best.

My former editor used to say, "always write to the best of your ability even on your blogs, you never know if a publisher is reading them."

That was one piece of advice I never believed when you consider the millions of people writing blogs what are the chances of a publisher reading one of mine? Less than a snowball's chance in hell.

I've been blogging for over a decade and never got anywhere. Years ago, I had a German friend who said I was in the top six bloggers she knew, now I find it hard to write one blog a day.
