Cintia asked Michelle Smart:

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?

Michelle Smart Hi Cintia,
The only way I know to deal with what you've described is to filter out the noise and write. Yes, there's a lot of competition out there but there's also a heck of a lot more readers. You can't control what's going on in the industry, all you can control are the words you write, so stop stalling and get writing!
Best of luck to you :-)
