The Revenge of Shaken & Stirred

Gwenda Bond: YA author, writer of other things, and possible escapee from a screwball comedy. This is yet another place I put things online. Find out more at my home territory or stick a pin in the twitter map. My first novel is BLACKWOOD, a modern take on the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island (available now). Next up are THE WOKEN GODS (Sept. 2013) and GIRL ON A WIRE (summer 2014).

I will happily try to answer Asks. Just drop them via the Magic 8 Ball (aka Ask) at the top of the page. And shake.

Some of it is raw talent. But talent alone is not what divides Olympians from other athletes. You could make an argument for a lot of different factors – supportive families, strong coaching, hours of practice. All those things contribute to the making of an Olympic athlete. In this post, I want to talk about the factor that is arguably the most important of all – perseverance.

Whether or not an athlete continues in the face of fear and adversity can make or break their chances of accomplishing their dreams.

The same can be said of writers.
