Hi Zen! I was wondering if you could provide three tips on becoming a successful writer? And how did you become successful?
Zen Cho
Hi Anastasia! Here's what's worked for me so far:
(1) Write regularly. You don't have to write every day if that doesn't work for you, but making a habit of it gives you space for failure, which is vital in creative work.
(2) Finish what you begin, and make a habit of submitting work for publication.
(3) Persevere. I always tell myself that successful people are just people who've failed more than others, because you can't fail if you haven't tried.
Good luck with your writing!
