I think it's great when parents can afford to buy stuff for their kids but never making them work for anything makes it so they never truly appreciate the things they get. I think gifts/freebies should be reserved for special occasions and the rest earned or at least partially earned. And how awesome your son came to YOU with a plan to make his dream happen!

But I've noticed something, and you've probably seen this with your kids too, sometimes they give up on the item they want because it's taking too long to earn the money. The item was wanted "yesterday", but it's taking six months to earn the money. They either figure it's not worth it anymore, or they settle for something less.<br />And we do this as writers, too. We either give up because it's taking too long or we settle for something less.<br />I'm not knocking self-publishing. I self-published ten years ago, myself, long before it was the fashionable thing to do. But I do know that it was because I was a very impatient person back then, too. There is no way I could have endured all the submitting, waiting, rejection, revising, etc. that I am enduring today.<br />But one thing that keeps me going is a writer friend who has had five books published traditionally, has had an agent, but is now struggle along side the rest of us to make a comeback. Yet, when I ask her whether I should try submitting straight to editors, she says, "No. You need an agent." So I persevere. I strive on. I keep writing. I keep submitting. I keep revising. I fix my eyes on the prize and refuse to give up or give in.<br />(Did I just take up like half of your comment space? Sorry...)<br />Have a great weekend, Julie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
