From @joannechocolat Unsolicited #writing advice, no. 763: Having a tough time? Good. Got a rejection? Good. Got a bad review? Good. Had to abandon a project because it wasn't working? Good. These things all teach you resilience, patience and determination; the things you need most as a writer. Trust me: the most unhappy writers I know are the ones who had all the opportunities, every door open from the start, who had the right schools, the right friends, the right connections. Because when you've never had to push back, the first taste of failure hits hard. Some never recover. #UnsolicitedWritingAdviceByJoanneHarris
