There are specific keys to overcoming the inevitable failure of being a writer. These few ideas can have a huge impact on your writing, and on your success as a writer.
Appreciate your own talent. If you know you are a good writer and you have
something valid to say, appreciate that in yourself. Self appreciation comes
across to others as confidence. Appreciating and having confidence in your
talent is not boastful or prideful, it’s honest and real.
Don’t let rejection slow you down. Realize and accept that rejection is part of the job
of writing for publication. If you accept this, it will not surprise you when
it happens. It’s a given, par for the course. It truly cannot be avoided. What
you need to do is file the rejection away and keep writing without missing a
beat.
Keep writing.
Famed author Amanda Hocking did this.
When she took my class, she had a thick file of rejection letters and
they kept coming even during the time she took the class. What did Amanda do as
a result? She wrote more books. By the time she self-published, then
e-published, she had 17 finished books. Now, because of her e-publishing
success, she is an international sensation with book and movie deals that
scream her success. She started out
failing. She kept writing. She saw
success. That’s a simple formula. It will work for you, too.
Much more to come!
