The whole of boredom |
The whole of boredom Long distance writingPut the work out there only when you believe it is worthy to get published.~Be patient, it takes time. In the meantime, keep on writing.~Keep on submitting it, don’t give up.~If you get no interest at all, get some feedback, write another one.~Keep on writing, don’t give up.~If you get requests for the full manuscript, that’s good but don’t get too excited.~Only make revisions that you believe will improve the book – feedback that resonates.~Be prepared to wait a long time for responses.~When you get rejected, keep on submitting, don’t give up.~If you find an agent, that’s good but don’t get too excited.~Keep on writing and learning everything you can about writing.~It may take a long time before the agent finds a publisher.~If a publisher shows interest, that’s good but don’t get too excited.~Only make revisions that you believe will improve the book.~If all the publishers reject you, write another book.~If you get a publishing deal, that’s good, but don’t get too excited.~Write another book, stretch yourself to write an even better one.~If you get poor reviews or no reviews, keep on writing.~If the book doesn’t sell, keep on writing.~It may take several books to build a reputation, so be patient.~If you win prizes, that’s fantastic, but don’t get too excited.~Keep on writing.~If the book becomes a best seller, that’s wonderful, but don’t get too excited.~Keep on writing.~Keep on writing. |
