I have been writing since I was about fifteen years old. I will be fifty-one next month. I have written five novels and a book of poetry. I had two novels under a publishing company for years, but I decided to end my relationship with them. I have since been picked up by another company and my new novels will be published shortly. It has been a long road. It was long waiting for novels to publish with my old company. Leaving that company and finding another, and now waiting for my other novels to publish has been a lengthy process of years. When I talk to writers or musicians or even my client's at my real job, I like to tell them a story I read about Sylvester Stallone.
In the early seventies when he wrote the story Rocky, he tried to sell the story for years and studios wanted it, but they didn't want him to be the star. He wanted to be the star so he refused to sell it and he kept looking for a company who would take the movie script and accept him as being the star, "Rocky." He basically gave up everything and even had his utilities cut off, but still, he refused to sell the movie without himself as the star. He never gave up. Finally, Universal Studios bought his movie with him being Rocky. The rest is history. "Never give up".-- Keith
