Where do you dream of publishing your book? How realistic is that dream? What are you willing to do to get there?
I am fortunate to know writers who are great manifesters. By that, I mean they clearly envision what they want with their writing, and they do absolutely everything to make that happen. It comes down to making themselves available to earn this gift. Which might sound odd to some. They also know that they can only control their side of things, not what actually happens once they release their book to the agent, publishing, or reader world.
That limit doesn't stop them. Not in the least.
