Now, I'm not sure the tip of the day is 100 percent correct, but I do think there is some merit to it. I'm reading the book Evermore now and without spoiling too much, parts of the book talk about making stuff happen by believing. I think that translates over into getting a book published to.1.) You have to believe in your book to get it published. Because if you don't love your book, how can anyone else?
At the same time...
2.) You need to believe you can get it published. Because if you have negative thinking and think every query is going to be a rejection, then that can sway the opinions in others. Confidence translates over without you even realizing.
Now all I need to do is follow this advice, and I think with enough hard work it will eventually happen with one of my books. As well as all yours :) So get working, so I can read all your wonderful masterpieces!

Go Em Go! Confidence is hard to sustain over long periods of time, so we need to keep boosting!
Oh I need to keep up my confidence!
My book is about many things, including believing in yourself. It took almost 4 years to complete and although there were many days when doubts would creep in that I would ever get it done. I kept trying as hard as I could to believe that I would finally finish it and have it published. Now that I have though, I realize that writing it and getting it published is nothing compared to what is needed to get it out to the general public and having it become a best seller. However, if what I have accomplished so far is any indication of what believing in yourself and your book can do. Then I can't help but to have faith that my book will be successful.
