Victoria Schwab, on the heels of her first #1 NYT debut The Savage Song, has a great post on her blog about how failure and success throughout her writing career, and how the big successes don't happen overnight -- even when they seem instant to your readers.
Her post reminds me of what my friend Aaron used to say about writing: basically, that "you have to write a million words of crap in order to start getting good."
So, fellow authors and writers, let's keep plugging away toward those million words!
Happy Friday,
