Talent is helpful in writing, but guts are absolutely necessary.
Jessamyn West
If you’ve starting submitting this month you may feel fear that you’re not ready, your work is not good enough; there are so many better writers out there.
Persevere in spite of all that.
Everyday that you write you are becoming a better writer.
There are many successful writers today that would be the first to admit that they are not the most talented.
What did they do different? Didn’t give up, didn’t listen to those negative voices in their head, kept writing in spite of people telling them they didn’t have what it took to be a writer. This morning in one of my newsletters I was reminded of this. Jack London received 600 rejections before he sold his first story.Six hundred!That is believing in yourself and your work.
Now get back to work!
Lovingly,
The Writing Nag
Thanks for this!
