"On The Slow Pursuit Of Overnight Success"

slow-success.jpg

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.

Read more from Victoria here.

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,
