Most fiction
writers haves experienced low times in their career where rejections, low
sales, and reviews sink them to the bottom of a deep, dark pool. Admit it, we’ve
all been there, and oh, the things we tell ourselves.
We think about
quitting, and we might for half a day.
We have a good cry,
but it doesn’t solve a
thing.
We invite our friends
to a pity-party.
We attempt to tell
ourselves that our lagging career is not our fault. Then comes the list of who
to blame.
We consider applying
to McDonalds as a Big Mac flipper.
But the best choice
we writers can make is to embark upon a journey to discover how our writing can
take on a unique style, voice, and marketability while entertaining readers
with an amazing story. Isn’t joy and satisfaction why we spend hours of time in seclusion devoted
to story?
This, my friend, is why I want to ask you 12 questions that might
cause you to completely change your writing style.
