I have been honored to read other people’s rough drafts and even final drafts of their books. But one thing that I have heard many people say is that people are so critical of their work. One lady’s rough draft that I read was an amazing story and she got discouraged because someone told her that no one would ever read her book. It truly breaks my heart when I see that people have put in the time and effort to create a wonderful story just for people to speak negatively about the book. I encouraged this lady to continue with her book and make the necessary changes and not let anyone stop her from completing her book. I have read many books from rough drafts, final drafts, and best sellers. We all have our opinions but I have read New York best-selling author books that were not that good. I don’t feel like anyone should discourage anyone from writing a book. You don’t know how you can change someone’s life or even go on the become New York’s best seller. I have to listen to my advice that I give others because I do get discouraged about my book. If this is your first book or your 100th book please don’t let anyone tell you not to write your story.
Love this. Needed this in this moment 🙏🏾

Thank you! I needed to hear this! I’m been dealing with a lack of confidence lately and it’s preventing me from really getting anything done. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thank you for these words of encouragement. I remind myself often that as long as one person finds something in one thing that I write, I have touched a life, and that’s the joy of writing. I’d love a huge book fan club, but I’m honest enough to say that I’d rather ease into it than be overwhelmed by immediate success–just my personality.
