Since it's bubbly and alive, Judy, it doesn't sound like giving up will be at all necessary, though we do encourage you to complete those 10 days before baking for best results. At that point, it should be noticeably growing, though every starter is different and becomes ripe in its own time. If you have any other questions, our free and friendly Baker's Hotline is available at 855-371-BAKE (2253) or through chat and email on our website so always feel free to reach out. Annabelle@KAF
