I’d want them to encourage more people to write that story they’ve been thinking about on the train. Can you imagine if JK Rowling heard this and just thought, “she’s right, my story probably sucks, better to just focus on my day job.”
The fact ppl keep using her as an example of persistence paying off, if evidence of how rare it is.It's good to have realistic expectations.
I’m not using JK Rowling as an example of persistence here.
She’s my example of a novice author who started with nothing more than an idea, a story she wanted to tell, and wound up writing a game-changing series.
