My favorite is “Don’t expect overnight success.” That is an idea I’m trying to get into my head every day, because I desperately want the book I’ve been writing (the one I think of as my baby) to be a success but I also know that is a very unlikely story. It’s so hard to think about! Maybe in a year I’ll be better adjusted to the idea. I’m a young writer (21) and so I have other young writer acquaintances and this is something I’m trying to get them to understand too, as gently as possible. It can take a very long time for a writer to see success. Dreaming of publishing is not as important as learning to be a better writer. Thanks for the post!

I have been writing for a long time. But I have stopped short of moving past the writing due to fear and so many unanswered questions. I do believe I am going to be a published author and I appreciate you as well as others willing to give back to those further behind on the journey. You understand the isolation we feel from unknowing family and friends who see us as a quaint anachronism.

Just because I am creative and like to spend time in what I love doesn;t mean I am wrong. One day they will pick up one of my books and say “Wow, I had no idea!” Even thought I have been saying it all of my life.

And it’s good to have a reminder that stepping out and moving forward will eventually see results.

Ever since I started moving into freelance blogging I’m massively starting to look forward to writing time – which ironically makes it easier to deal with the other 12 points. Just sayin’… 😉

I don’t think they will ever go away. But forewarned is forearmed as the cliche says.

Kristen Lamb posted about 13 things mentally strong writers don’t do. I find this article very interesting, helpful, strong and impressive. I’m still working on the last 10 points. HAHA I’m probably not mentally strong… more… a tiny bit unbalanced. LOL

I myself am guilty of at least one or two of these.
