I love it, Bryan!
I’m surrounded by a lot of play-it-safers, and I do my best not to absorb the mentality that they have.
Writing as a profession is actually a taboo topic among my family and friends, so this is something I’m navigating by myself in the real world.
I’ve been connecting with fellow bloggers and looking out for mentors.
Writing is hard enough, I won’t make my life harder by listening to play-it-safers who just drag me down because they never went after their own dreams.

In reply to Karen Sargent. You're students are so lucky, Karen. And congratulations on signing with a publisher! That's awesome.

It’s one of my biggest gripes in the online forums — one naysayer gets going and the rest just suck up the “failure nectar.”

It’s just not so.

I’ve been at this gig for longer than I care to say. The naysayers around me have stopped. Why? Because I’ve proven them wrong. I did that by ignoring them and minding my business–my writing business.

I get pushback occasionally from people in forums, but the facts don’t lie. I’m doing the damn job, not making excuses, and the results reflect that.

Hey guys I just found a pretty cool website for people to publish their stories and other writing. It’s called Awthr.com

Hi, Bryan! I told very few people I was writing, so when people found out I’d signed with a publisher, I got a lot of “I didn’t know you were writing a book!” I didn’t talk about it because even if people don’t verbalize their doubt, there’s often that look in their eyes that tells you what they’re not saying. But I also didn’t talk about it because I was my own “play-it-safer” in a lot of ways. Even though I was writing, I didn’t truly believe I’d end up with a book, and the fewer people who’d know I’d failed the better! 🙂 I teach high school English, and a student approached me yesterday with an idea for a book. We talked through her idea, her audience, etc., and then she asked, “Do you think it’s possible?” I told her, “I know it’s possible. This is cliche’ but if I can do this, you can do this.” Now, she has no idea what kind of work is ahead of her, but if this is something she really wants–if publishing is something anyone really wants–it is possible if they view their failures as another step that actually moves them closer–and if they are willing to do whatever it takes. Thanks for another encouraging pep talk!
