A Win Is a Win

Sometimes it’s incredibly hard to maintain positivity as a writer when there are so many roadblocks. Whether it be publishing issues, editing, or life in general. Things can seem quite overwhelming and dim, but I tell you what? Your stories are worth every hard hour spent drafting and editing.

Those long days when self-publishing seems impossible will pay off. Today, tomorrow, next year. Doesn’t matter. Point is, if you don’t quit, you’ll succeed. And honey, SUCCESS is you killing your word goal for the day. It’s finishing your cover; completing that last round of edits. Hell, SUCCESS is finishing the book.

NOT EVERYONE DOES.

Success looks different for everyone. Every step in your author journey is a success. Triumph is when you press PUBLISH, it’s when the first review comes through. What it says? Who cares! Take those small successes and claim the win, love. You’ve committed yourself this extremely personal endeavor and created something gorgeous. This path can be arduous, solitary and beautiful. Creating worlds is our thing, it’s what we do. It’s what we love! Remember why you’re doing this. When impossibilities stack, take a break and breathe.

Let your imagination run, then follow it. 💜🧡
