I agree. The way I always look at trying to succeed as a writer is I imagine myself climbing a gigantic rock face and although since getting e-published I feel as though I have reached a ledge, the top is still obscure. Just keep imagining yourself climbing and you’ll get there in the end. That is what I am always desperately trying to convince myself.
The thing about that is, what seems like a mountain before you do it is often nowhere near that challenging once you’ve done it. And it’s difficult to explain to people, but after you’ve done it a few times, the things that were mountains at the beginning are just routine things you know to do. And then of course there are new mountains that you can now see at that level that you didn’t see before. But knowing that you were able to climb one mountain means you’ll eventually be able to get them all.
We work hard at this writing stuff. We deserve a pat on the back once in while.

Ooh, go on, then. A bit of both. I had a good writing week for the first time in many months, and Lucy’s new novel extract/teaser looks super!
Yeah, Lucy is very good at working the tease.
And congratulations on a productive writing week. I can’t say I had the same. But this week is looking promising!
Good luck with that, then, Dan.
Thanks!
This guy I know named Dan released a book this week. Go Dan! 😉
Hmm… do I know him?
You might. He’s a pretty active in the writing community kind of guy. Helps out a lot of newbies.
Cool guy.
ROFL
I wrote a new scene in a novel/sequel I haven’t touched in months 🙂
Awesome. Fresh words.
My novel is under consideration for possibly being sold in the Richard III Visitor Centre 🙂 Fingers crossed!
How awesome!
