great advice. I like her last comment: And it should excite you because the writing sounds fun, not because you think it will be the next Harry Potter. You can't control the market's reaction, you can only control the writing. Could apply to illustration as well. That's what keeps me motivated to continue to pursue illustration. It's not about money. It is the pure joy of drawing. Of course we all have to make a living, but my point is that I am not doing this to get rich, a thought that has kept me from doing other things based on how much money I thought I could make!
Right, Tom. There are much easier ways to get rich! And the joy of it seems like just about the only thing you can control. Good to keep in mind through the ups and downs.
