*Update: The Resurrection of Jonathan Brady just advanced to the Quarterfinals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award 2012! In 2010, an earlier version of The Resurrection of Jonathan Brady made it to Round Two. Then last year, after a major overhaul of the novel, and changing the title from The Lonely Affair of Jonathan Brady to The Resurrection of Jonathan Brady, it was shortlisted for 2011 Faulkner-Wisdom Award. I knew I was on the right track, so I revised the novel last July/August 2011 and again January/February 2012 for this year’s competition.

A good write-up! Thanks for the encouragement. My motto: RIPs- Resilient,Indefagitable,Persistent, Perseverance, Patience). One day, I hope.... But talent? *Scratching my head.
Thanks. Don't worry about the talent. There are a lot of talented writers who lack everything you just mentioned. They wasted their talent. Just write and improve your writing and follow your RIPs!
