I'm loving this series, Scott. Really inspiring. I don't wanna go all Glee on everyone but it goes to show that passion, persistence and patience will lead to success.

Best of luck, Joshua.

Thanks, Teddy. It was inspired by a member of the GITS community, yet another example of how stellar the people are who frequent this site.

Open invite to anyone: Email me your stories of how you've tried to break in. Ups, downs, highs, lows, this is the chance to share them with a community of people who have all been there and know what it's about.

Thanks for featuring my story, Scott!

Love this post. Josh, love your work ethic. Just keep pushing, man.

I wish I had the self-discipline Josh has to sit down and dedicate myself to writing for 3 hours a night. I think I'm too comfortable with life. There's no sense of urgency.

(I also have 4 kids, but that's just an excuse.)

What a great story, Joshua, thank you for sharing! I have not a single doubt wonderful things will come to pass for you, keep us updated, and may reality surpass your dreams.
