Kimberly Rose Johnson:
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?

Hi, Cintia. You are in good company with your discouragement. I think all writers feel that way at some point.
My suggestion is to just write and not worry about publication. Once you have your manuscript polished and you are pleased with it then think about what you're going to do with it.
Yes, the market is crowded and the competition is fierce, but we have publishing options. There are small publishers who are often willing to take a risk on a new author as well as independent publishing. Indie publishing is hard work and time consuming, but you have complete control of your book when you publish it yourself.
Wishing you the best in your writing.
