Writing can be a frustrating profession. Whether doing it for love or money, whether trying to get published or not, sometimes writers get exasperated and wonder if it’s all worth it. Rejection letters don’t help. Neither do poor sales for those who get published.<\/p>\n
So this week, we asked the writers at the Confabulator Cafe whether or not they have ever thought of chucking it all. We’re not trying to be discouraging to the burgeoning writers who visit our site. We just think the question is a relative part of a writer’s life and needed to be discussed.<\/p>\n
What about you? Have you ever considered walking away from the writer’s life? What kept you from doing so? Have you quit? If so, what made you come back?\u00a0Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
Until next week,<\/p>\n
