We LOVE to read comments so please leave a comment and subscribe to Our channel: https://www.youtube.com/writerslifeorg Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and today we'll be talking about if rejection is really all that bad we're all told that as writers rejection is one of the toughest parts of the job there are countless pieces of advice on how to cope with rejection how to pick up the pieces and move on but is that necessary rejection doesn't have to be something that knocks us down and takes time to get over in fact it really isn't all that bad at all and here's why rejection is inevitable for writers its death taxes and rejection letters every writer gets rejected it's just going to happen so there's no point in hoping that somehow it won't happen to you that you'll be one of those lucky writers who lands a huge publishing deal straight away you won't the rejection will come so what is the point of getting upset about something so utterly inevitable save your energy and emotion for something more worthwhile rejection is valuable once you have cheerfully accepted the fact that you will get rejected why not then turn your attention to how you might use it to your advantage sometimes the rejection letters come with feedback these are as valuable as gold so go back over your manuscript your cover and your synopsis and think about how you can make improvements to give yourself a better chance of success next time rejection is never personal remember when an editor decides to reject your work they aren't doing it because they have some long-standing vendetta against you it's only business stay professional and don't immediately see them as your mortal enemy rejection doesn't always count some rejections don't mean anything go back and think about whether really realistically your book ever stood a chance there sometimes we all are guilty of sending our work off to publishers that aren't suitable these rejections don't count ignore them and put more effort into your research next time rejection is subjective so there may be certain trends or algorithms editors are using to decide whether your book will appeal to the masses but at the end of the day it's still going to be down to the personal taste you also can never be sure of the circumstances when your book reaches the top of the pile they may have read two other promising and similar stories that day they might be in a particularly bad mood they may have forgotten to eat breakfast and be distracted by their hunger any number of factors can influence their decision and apart from writing the best book you can and giving the best pitch you can give they are pretty much entirely out of your control rejection isn't that bad we're often told that rejection is crushing and soul-destroying and heartbreaking it's all pretty dramatic it's all too easy to be influenced by this to get sucked in but really what's the points getting overly upset about rejection is a waste of our precious time so have some more respect for yourself and your work and accept rejection for what it is an opinion and that's all we'd all prefer to get a positive response over a rejection however if we can be a bit more practical about it and face the fact that it's going to happen stead of having what seems to be the widely accepted reaction of immediately turning into a wailing wreck and claiming we'll never write again we could instead accept it be a bit thicker skinned and you may just be able to use it to make you a better writer if you're having a hard time writing or finishing your book check out our free writers toolkit it can help you overcome procrastination get organized stay focused and get your book published just head to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit to download your FREE copy and if you enjoyed this video don't forget to give it a thumbs up turn on our notifications and subscribe down below and be sure to visit writer's life.org for my writing tips and tricks and i'll see you next time

We LOVE to read comments so please leave a comment and subscribe to Our channel: https://www.youtube.com/writerslifeorg Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello there its Peter here again from Writer's Life and today ways you might be self sabotaging your writing career one thing many writers have in common is their ability to self-sabotage writers can often be so unfairly negative about themselves and their work it is as if they are their own worst enemy bar the obvious negative effect this has on once self-esteem this self-sabotage also naturally has an effect on a writer's ability to succeed having put so much time energy and care into your work doesn't it seems something of a shame if you are the one who gets in the way of your own success be open to the possibility of actually being a successful writer is so important it's not just about look or even about talent it's also about having a positive mindset and the determination to keep going even when the chips are down so what are the signs to look out for which may suggest you are sabotaging your writing career here are some of the most common and first you've fallen out of love with writing gone are the days where you felt excited and elated every time you sat down to write lately it feels so much more forced your stories like the passion and flow of earlier times and you keep getting distracted or finding any excuse to leave your work and go and do something else if this sounds like you you need to think about what might be causing you to feel this way if you can understand the cause as to why your writing doesn't fulfill you as it used to you can tackle it head-on make a list of all the things you love about writing and all the obstacles that stop you from doing it or enjoy it as you should focus on what makes you happy and don't worry about the rest and next you've lost confidence in your ability to write if you started to feel negative about your writing ability and everything you write seems terrible this negativity is bound to have an impact on the quality of your writing overall perhaps it's time to reassess how you critique your work are you too hard on yourself or perhaps you need to go back to basics and start again producing a great piece of writing is a slow and laird process but it's essential that you remain confident in your ability to achieve what you want to achieve next you're suffering from the dreaded writer's block if you simply can't find any inspiration and every time you sit down to write your mind goes blank there could be an underlying reason that has locked you in a downward spiral and you need to get yourself out of it before your career starts to suffer it's hard to be creative when you are feeling stressed or anxious so try to find ways to clear your mind and relax so that you have the necessary freedom to write find inspiration by joining a writing group apps taking up a new hobby maybe traveling or just experimenting with your writing to see if it in a new direction reinvigorates you once more and next when you do get some interest you worry too much if an agent or publisher shows interest in your book it's important to accept this as an awesome compliment some writers end up self sabotaging by immediately finding the enormity of finishing their book or making suggested revisions too overwhelming they feel like an impostor becomes suspicious and uncertain and pest to the agent or publisher so much that eventually the deal falls through remember if you do get interest you are in a considerable minority it's okay to be nervous but try to be calm and professional and stay confident in your ability to get the job done next you finish your work and never send it off a classic sign of writer self-sabotage is that dusty old manuscript that sits shrouded in shame at the bottom of a desk drawer or those many drafty emails to agents and publishers that have been sitting ready to go for months if you have finished your work spent a sensible amount of time and focus editing it and crafted a solid submission later it's time to let it go you are probably never going to feel your work is perfect or good enough to submit but if you want to stand a chance there has to be a point where you let it go if yourself sabotaging your writing career it's time to figure out why once you start giving it some thought the reasons should become pretty clear so just listen to yourself your instincts and try to nip it in the bud as soon as possible and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll find out how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to right and finally get your book published to get access to it now while it's still available simply go
