Write a lot and don't think about publishing - just the writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Write a million words before thinking about getting published.
I write slowly by hand. Publishing is effectively bankrupt for you unless you are Danielle Steele. It takes a year to write book and advances are going down or disappearing.
If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
If you wish to be a writer, write.
I often get asked how I write so much. As any writer knows, the answer is to write a lot more than you actually publish.
Don't let anyone discourage you from writing. If you become a professional writer, there are plenty of editors, reviewers, critics, and book buyers to do that.
Publishing in a way doesn't have a lot to do with writing, and writing doesn't have a lot to do with publishing.
I tend to write things and don't go the next step and try to get it published. I don't want to do book signings and stuff.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
If you want to be a writer, you write. Everybody wants to get published. You gotta play your long game.
