Very dangerous in war. And yet, strangely enough, optimists live longer. Go figure.<br /><br />As someone strongly in the under-confidence camp, I’ve enjoyed the outlooks of other members:<br /><br />Michelangelo: Painting and sculpture have been my ruin. I would have been better off making matches.<br /><br />Renoir: I’ve reached the conclusion that I don’t know how to paint or draw.<br /><br />Mark Twain on Huckleberry Finn: I like it only tolerably well, and may possibly pigeonhole or burn the manuscript when it is done.Steve MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026970188928733645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375524926817525353.post-23174729392683883982010-02-04T01:07:22.869-05:002010-02-04T01:07:22.869-05:00Great post.

But I think it would be a good idea if we could siphon off some of the offending over-confidence, and then share it out among the woe-is-me crowd.

But I also try to be realistic and realize the agent might hate it. I also realize I might never get an agent-or it might take a long time - or I might hate the agent I get or hopefully love them. <br /><br />Publishing is a business.
