NY Times Letter

I see nothing bright about the fact that authors have to pay universe or other companies to get published. It is more of the same. I wrote a novel called Diffrent Flags and serached high and low for a publisher. All I got was rejections. Finally it was accepted by a small company called Denlinger's in Fla. Different Flags got excellent reviews from readers and reviewers alike.
I feel that there should be more room for those of us who really have talent and deserve to be read. Eugenia Renskoff

Writing

My name is Eugenia Renskoff. I love to write. I always write, every single day, no matter what. My novel Different Flags, received a very good review from the sormag reviewer as well as other reviewers. In spite of this, it has been impossible for me to find an agent. I have a couple of blogs (www.beccar.wordpress.com and www.mylifeinargentinaandbeyond.blogspirit.com). They may interest you. You have to be very persistent, very dedicated, because the writing life is not always easy. There are rewards, but they are not always in plain sight. Ask around for a literary agent. Ask a published writer friend, the friend of a friend, an acquaintance, your old college professor. Never give up. Eugenia Renskoff

Motivation To Write

February 18, 2008: If you tell yourself, you want to write, 10 minutes a day are enough. Next week you will write 15 minutes, then 20, then soon half an hour. Do you want to be in a group, or will being by yourself be enough? A group will give you feedback. Do you want to write short stories, a novel, essays or non fiction? The most important thing is the need to do it, the drive. If you have this, nothing can stop you.
