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?

That is the only answer. There are a million trips and traps and superstitions, but really? All you can do is keep writing. Keep learning. Push the negativity out of your head and get on with it. Perhaps the most difficult aspect of moving stories from your brain to someone else's brain is removing all the negativity. There's not too much competition. There aren't too many books. We haven't yet read YOURS. Write it. And, if that one doesn't reach readers as you'd like, write another, and another. With each new manuscript, you will become a better writer. It takes a lot of time...but the time will pass either way. Best to do the thing you want to do, right?(less)

2019 Empathy Challenge, Now with PRIZES!

Traveling and reading are the best ways to build empathy. Last year, I designed an empathy challenge to add a zero-cost travel program to librarians' and teachers' summer reading programs.

You can read about why I created the empathy challenge at Teen Librarian Toolbox.

This year, I've tweaked the sheet and there are PRIZES!

If your teens or tweens complete a line or column of this year's empathy c Read more of this blog post »
