Don’t Give Up

 

What’s the difference between an amateur writer and a professional writer?

The professional didn’t give up.

To emphasise the point here’s my publication history by decade:


 


1980s – one short story published


1990s – one short story published


2000s – two stories published (and a few articles in magazines)


2010s – about 40 short stories published, 11 books and I’ve lost count of the number of magazine features


 


So don’t give up and keep getting better.
