If you’ve hung around the
writing world for long, you’ve heard it before . . .
- Being a published author does not magically fix all your problems.
- Being a published author does not mean you’ll spend your days fending off random fans when you’re buying groceries.
- Being a published author does not mean you’ll spend your days in a lovely office overlooking a serene pastoral setting as you churn out novel after novel.
But . . . come
on. It has to help. Right? It has to be more good than bad. At least when you
get “The Call” or reach new writing milestones, there will be parties and
well-wishes and celebratory balloons falling from the ceiling. Right?
