You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist. PPl do say that"Write something to suit yourself and many people will like it; write something to suit everybody and scarcely anyone will care for it."so wht i believe in is Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long. As i don't go through every single post here can't vote for any specific one but i wanna say In comparing various authors with one another, I have discovered that some of the gravest and latest writers have transcribed, word for word, from former works, without making acknowledgment. Everyone is born with genius, but most people only keep it a few minutes.
