Sometimes, as writers, we face some pretty frustrating
setbacks. Some of which are so bad that all we want to do is to close our
laptops, put away our pens, and just take a very, very long break. Maybe even
an indefinite one. Whether it’s rejection from a publisher or you’ve lost an
entire piece of work due to a malfunction, it makes you wonder why you’re still
on this crazy, unreliable train anyways.
Today, I want to talk about those setbacks,
and why they really aren’t the end of
the world – even though that’s what they feel like. In reality, they’re
actually pretty beneficial to your growth as a writer.
