Something wrong or inaccurate about this page? Let us Know!

Thanks for helping us continually improve the quality of the Lantern search engine for all of our users! We have millions of scanned pages, so user reports are incredibly helpful for us to identify places where we can improve and update the metadata.

Please describe the issue below, and click "Submit" to send your comments to our team! If you'd prefer, you can also send us an email to mhdl@commarts.wisc.edu with your comments.




We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Then forget that story as completely as though you had never heard of it, except to make a note of the mailing date and attach it to the carbon copy of your manuscript, and start on another plot. Do not rest on the hope of selling the submitted story— write another—a better one! Keep at it! When an athlete trains in order to pos- cess a perfect body he trains every day, regularly. When you start to train your mind to the performance of creative, imaginative work, do not allow a day to pass without a certain amount of work. If your days are given over to other employment, choose an hour before breakfast, in which to think and create and revise. But, no matter how little time you are able to take, let it be regular each day. An hour daily is better than one whole day a week. Persist! Do not allow discouragement to enter into your calculations! If you sell one story out of several at the start you are to be reckoned with as a future success. If you sell more than that you are in high gear with every cylinder working smoothly and a clear, level road ahead. 89
