A shift in thinking

This week I found a breath of fresh air through a woman on YouTube who says it's okay to be human. Becca Symes - check out her channel.

That might sound ridiculous, but in the writing world there are a lot of "gurus" and people who know exactly what you have to do to be successful. Some people crank out 12 books per year, others write 2000 words per day. I'm happy if I get through one scene in my story.

Becca allows that we all work at different paces and that there is no single way to accomplishment. Accomplishment is up to us to decide and we work at our own pace in our own time.

Until hearing that I felt like an utter failure. Now I can be true to myself and my process and understand that the "industry" is non-linear, fickle and that there are things over which I have no control (those parts I pass onto the Universe and just get on with what I do).
