Learning From Failure

It may seem weird to talk about failure and rejection in writing context as a good thing. But I really want to help you reframe it, because the writing journey is rather long. If you don't enjoy the actual writing process, the writing craft, the journey of building your career and building yourself as an artist and a creator, you're gonna have a tough time because there is so much rejection and failure inherent in that journey.

But if you're like me and you found the writing process is when you come alive and flow, when time disappears and you just feel completely in the zone, that's the thing to chase because that's what makes for a good life. And so, some of these potholes, some of these obstacles, they really can just be fuel for the larger fire.
