Marta Perry:
I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

If you want to write badly enough, you'll keep on writing despite all the gloom and doom news that circulates! If you're writing seriously, of course you want to keep up to date on industry news, but without taking it so much to heart. As long as you are actively writing, you'll keep having ideas--there's nothing like the physical act of writing to give you new ideas!
