“Unlocking Success: How Small Breaks Can Lead to Big Opportunities”
Have you ever felt like success was just around the corner, only to discover it was a winding road of detours and unexpected stops? I know I have! In the journey of writing, we often romanticize the idea of the “overnight success”—that magical moment where everything clicks, and suddenly you’re on the bestseller list. But let’s face it, for many of us, it’s a long game filled with small victories that deserve celebration. Whether hunting down a blank journal as a child or persevering through countless drafts, every step counts. In this article, I’ll delve into the need for writers to recognize and celebrate each milestone, no matter how small. Because in the end, it’s not about the grand gestures but the little wins that pave our way to success. So, are you ready to cherish all your victories? LEARN MORE.
THE RECKLESS WRITER
Success can come in many different ways, and we should be mindful to celebrate every milestone
I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. When I was very young, I went on a quest to the mall to find a blank, hardcover journal. You see, I wanted to write a book. That was my aspiration even then. All I needed was something that looked like a book but was filled with empty pages.
In a very real sense, I was right. Filling in pages is all it takes.
Some people are referred to as “An overnight success 10 years in the making.” It’s been 50 years for me, but I’m not worried. I think too often writers become overly fixated on one make-or-break moment.
The true key to success lies in finding a way to persist. You have to figure out ways to support yourself, but always carve out time for your writing. You might never get your big break. But if you can gather up enough little breaks, you’ll find that one day success has been dropped into your lap, and you didn’t even notice.
