The Write Idea

Are you putting off submitting your work?

Maybe you are putting off finishing your work so you don’t have to submit it. Never finish, never submit, never get rejected. Ouch.

Don’t reject yourself.

You might be writing someone’s favorite book. Really. Someone once wrote your favorite book. She struggled over it. Fought for each word. Wondered if it was any good. And it was. That book is now on your bookshelf, dog-eared, pages falling out, or maybe even in multiple copies because you can’t walk past a copy at a used book sale.

Give yourself a chance of succeeding, of reaching your dream.

Don’t reject yourself. Learn the craft. Practice. Get Feedback. Revise. Submit.

No more procrastinating.

(Shonna Slayton @ Routines For Writers)
