Tracy Sprayberry’s blog follows her road to publication, complete with all the doubt, frustration and, yeah, envy that goes along with it.  Her post from Thursday is a bit of a rant but she manages to express what most of us have felt from time to time in the writing business.  In fact, I had the same ephiphany in October 2003 and it sounded a lot like the one Tracy had.  Specifically, it focused on the same line Tracy used:

One must submit a book in order for said book to be published.

Uh-huh.  Sounds familiar. I refer to this as the "duh" moment in my life.  The good news is that this realization can give rise to a strange sort of motivation which can lead to the much-awaited Call and other Calls for more work. It’s a long road but it does actually go somewhere.  It just doesn’t get there very fast.
