Success and failure seem to be black and white. You either succeed tremendously or fail horribly. No one talks about the in between of learning to fail and getting back up to try again. On this week's episode, I talk to Julie Carrick Dalton about how working on her novel, Waiting for the Night Song, taught her the importance of keeping on the path of perseverance, even when rejection keeps hitting you in the face.
