“Help – My Writing’s Not Selling!” is one of my most popular articles ever. Dozens of writers have told me it’s helped them to gain a new perspective. I hope it helps you too, if you’re going through a slump.
Here’s an excerpt:
If the definition of insanity is to keep doing what’s not working in the confident expectation that it WILL work, then writers and other creatives are nuts.
When you’re a writer, you write and you market your work. That’s it. It’s exactly the same process for Stephen King as it is for Stephen Brand-New-Writer. You dig a hole and you keep digging until they bury you in it or you hit a gold mine.
That’s what makes a life in the arts so challenging. If you’re a creative, you create, and you sell. That’s all. This counter-intuitive process leads many writers on an endless quest for the “secret”. There has to be something else, they think. It’s too simple. There has to be more to selling your work than that.
The bad news is that there’s no more to it. And that’s also the good news.
The good news: Every word you write makes you a better writer.
