THIS. Agented or notโฆpublished or not. If you writeโyou are a writer, an AUTHOR, and I adore you for pursuing something so soul crushing and uplifting at the same time because few can or do โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
This is your reminder that if you put words on a page, you are a writer. You do not need some arbitrary number of pieces published or a daily word count to maintain that status. You are a writer, now and forever, and you're doing a wonderful job.
1. Querying skills are not the same as writing skills. Being bad at querying does NOT equal being bad at writing.
2. Donโt feel bad AT ALL for not being an expert at something no one taught you how to do

If youโre new to the
#WritingCommmunity
and you saw the deleted but never forgotten agent dumpster fire yesterday, know most agents are lovely and love debut authors.
You got this.
The most important thing you can have as a writer isnโt an agent. It isnโt a book deal. It isnโt a bunch of positive reviews. It isnโt anything like that.
Itโs having resilience, rolling with the punches, and letting it make you stronger.
Will you?
