Please remind me
Hi Michael. I hope you take this in the right spirit, But I think we ALL face the risk of "failure and rejection" as you say.. But like a lot of things (and relationships) in life, it's a risk we have to take. I also think that you will feel a bit more optimistic once you get into the process or Publication. In one sense, it isn't a risk (or experience), that we can or perhaps should try to avoid or control. During my first book 'Rhyming Lines', I took the view that people will either read or not read - and like or not like my work. Also - It would also depend on you criteria for Failure or Rejection. Once your book is published and on sale, you have an automatic success. Then you have another success with each sale, recommendation to read. I consider Reviews to be helpful either way; as an integral part of the Writing and Publishing experience. I'll close by echoing the phrase "Publish and be damned". Your readers, family and friends will support you - and the rest, you can't change anyway. Good luck with your project and all the best for 2018.
Having a natural curiosity is a key aspect of being a good writer so don’t apologize. Looking forward to having join the webinar.
