Cinderella Writers: You too shall go to the ball

To succeed as a writer, you have to believe in yourself and do what it takes. Great story in the New York Times about Kathleen McGowan, a wonderful example of a Cinderella writer.

The best quote in the article is from Jenny Good, who self-published a book with her father:

Asked how she felt about competing with the publishing behemoths and famous authors at the convention, she said, "Like a pit bull fighting for our share."

There you have it. Believe in your work and FIGHT for it. You too shall go to the ball, Cinders.
