It's all little things, once you reach the side of the mountain. There's long, flat plains where almost all the writers are. Then the mountain comes, and it's a steep one, where the writers are that make money. The difference down the hill between Brandon Sanderson and Brandon Mull and Alex Bledsoe and Shallee McArthur and me is not large, in terms of skill. It's in persistence and application--in work, not to put too fine a point on it. Subtle craft, consistently applied. It looks so simple. It's so very hard to do.
I think you are so right- persistence and application are key. That and perhaps a mindset that doesn't get discouraged. You clearly have a way with words so I have followed you and await more from you! I wish you every success. :-)
Oooh. Yeah, discouragement is a huge thing. We all fight it. Steemit gives a lot of help with that, although not if you go a couple weeks and never have a post break one dollar.
I guess we just need to keep going! Thanks for insights once again!
