Cintia asked Brenda Novak:

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?

Brenda Novak Hi Cintia! I'm so sorry for the very late response, but I am just seeing this now. I'm sorry about the difficulties you're facing. Discouragement is a hard thing to battle. But I say you ignore all of that. Believe in you and your dream and march boldly toward it, refusing to be denied. There are a lot of people out there wanting to be writers, but it goes to those who want it the most.
