Mom's Advice

[Austin S. Camacho]

In the last 3 weeks I’ve attended my two favorite writers’ conferences. In that time I made a slew of new friends, got valuable advice from several very successful writers, and spoke to two different agents who expressed interest in representing me.

It all goes to show that the best advice your mother ever gave you was, "Go! You might meet somebody!"

So true. I met my wife after an interview at an insurance company (where I didn't get the job). The office next door was IBM. My wife brow beat me into going in and submitting an job application. Six months later, I was offered a job and worked at IBM for ten years. I didn't think I was qualified to work there, but became one of their stars. So don't stand firm knowing it won't happen. It sometimes does.
