You may wonder how this relates to writing...On this online auction, you have to be the lowest unique bidder to win. For example they are auctioning off a 42 inch TV. You can bid 20 times a day. So you start as low as you can and keep bidding until you get a number that noone else has gotten. You can bid as low as .01 or as high as 999.99. With every one bidding on this great item it isn't easy to get that unique bid. When you do though the reward is this amazing TV for a great price. One lady got a Mini Cooper for $50.43.

This isn't much different than writing. We are all bidding on the same thing. In this case it just happens to be a book contract. The ideas are like the prices on these auctions. Only we can use one through a million. The only problem is that every one bidding is pulling from the same resource pool we call life. The idea is not any different you want to get that unique bid. Not as easy as it might seem.

The idea, keep trying! That unique bid is out there and when you find it, it will be as exciting as getting a new car for $50.43!Remember the adage; to succeed you need 5% talent and 95% persistence!

Have A Great Writing Day!Sheri
