Advice from Bestselling Author John Updike
The late great John Updike offered this crucial advice to writers: “Try to develop steady work habits, maybe a more modest quota, but keep to it. Don’t be thin-skinned or easily discouraged because it’s an odds-long proposition; all of the arts are. Many are called, few are chosen, but it might be you.”
-John Updike
