Need Encouragement?

In light of my new focus on encouragement, inspiration and motivation I want to post links to posts that I find particularly encouraging, inspiring or motivating.  So, for my first recommendation, I'm going to steer you to The Teaching Author's website in general and this entry from Esther Hershenhorn.  Esther is like my author-hero because she is super awesome, super nice and super delightful.  So, go, read and be inspired to write on!
