Writing Tip

Perseverance makes a published writer

First mentioned/ideated by: Many

Robert Butler says it best in the following lines, and I doubt I can top that, so I will just put the lines before you.

"I didn't sell much for a long time. And before I sold that first #novel, I wrote five ghastly novels, about forty dreadful short #stories, and twelve truly awful full-length #plays, all of which have never seen the light of day and never will."

And here's another few inspiring lines from the literary agent Alexandra Machinist about signing up Gina Guadagnino where she is quoting Ms. Guadagnino:

"2017 (still): 180 rejections later, sign with agent @amachinist. Dance happy dance! Do minor revision. Offer from @trishtodd at @TouchstoneBooks. More happy dancing!
2018: Edits! Most joyful editing I've ever done! So much happy dancing!

So in the words of Ms. Machinist, the power of perseverance seldom wanes, often compounds. Therefore keep trying, would-be authors. Ms. Guadagnino is proof that it’s likely to be worth it.
