Q. What's the difference between a published writer and an unpublished one?
A. There's no difference. They both work hard at their writing. But the published writer has more problems.
Dreaming of being a published writer? Think that publication will answer all your prayers?
Unbelievable though it may seem, the time will come when you look back on your unpublished status as the good times. :-)
When you publish a book, you won't be taller/ shorter, ten years younger, look like a supermodel, or even be happier.
Sadly, real life is real life. When you're a writer, you write. Sometimes you sell. Sometimes you don't. Published writers get rejected too, all the time. And they need to make their own accommodation with this. I love the this article by Vivian Leiber because she tells it like it is.
The good news? Writing is all there is. And it's enough.
