Do you know your opposing army in the world of writing and
publishing? Because if you don’t know who is against you, you will fail
miserably. Perhaps you have no idea who’d ever want you not to write a
bestseller or have your blog or tweet not go viral. We all have fellow writers
who are determined to deepen their craft, master social media, create a
phenomenal website, and spread good will to readers and other writers.
We’re all forced to get involved with the battlefront. Those who are
prominent in the industry are writers we want to emulate. We treasure their
discipline and genuinely want them to continue pleasing readers. In short, we
want to be just like them. Since we are dealing with friends and peers, how
does a writer approach the publishing battlefront?
An army is trained physically and strategically to win. So let me
give you a few tips on how to train for success.
