Melisa Peterson Lewis,

Someone asked what makes a successful writer vs a failed writer. This instantly came to mind. I’ve made no money, I’m not published yet but I’m writing. By continuing to create I’m succeeding toward a goal. Truth? I don’t think I’m America’s next top writer. I do this because I like it. The only way to fail is to stop doing it, stop trying. Happy Friday everyone!

A successful vs a failure. I think the only way you can fail is to give up. Everything else is a success in it's own way. What do you think_ (1)

I am a writer. It's funny how long it took me to admit this without feeling shame or fearful I was spinning lies. I also read, garden, and a mental health advocate. My side hustle is writing and my undercover job is as an IT Recruiter.

  1. I agree that the ultimate failure is quitting… to stop doing what you love, what drives you, is the worst thing to do in this life. Yet, as writers, I think we need to know that our words are read. That someone was moved by our insights. I enjoyed the post.
