Writing a book is a long, difficult slog that requires persistence, stamina, and commitment.
It also requires a foolhardy sense of optimism, because there is no guarantee of reward. Nevertheless, writers can often get stuck focussing on publication as the ultimate goal of their work. In this episode, I discuss very honestly the inner turmoil that can arise when we get stuck deeply into a story and sweat the outcome too much. It's easy to fall into the trap of focussing on getting published. Having that be your ultimate goal when really, doing the work, and doing it to the best of your abilities, is a far better goal (and one you actually have control over).
