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?

Anne Wagener Thanks for reaching out! I think one of the best ways to stay motivated/encouraged is to join a writing group. I am lucky to be part of an amazing group where we encourage each other and share what we're working on for constructive feedback. There's also a lot of delicious food involved, which helps. :) And we give each other glittery stickers. It's the little things... Being a writer is definitely a challenge. I rely on them a lot to keep me going. Whatever you do, don't give up!
