Whining will not help you win
the battle for publication.
Every moment spent whining about your writing career
is a moment of creative energy lost.
Christina Katz, author of Get Known Before the Book
Deal, suggests writers sign a statement that includes:
I, , being of sound
mind and body, do solemnly commit to keep my
grousing to myself for the period of one year. This
stuffi ng of a sock into my mouth includes, but is
not limited to, whining about all matters related
to the publication of my work. I will not grumble …
I will not cry … I will not moan.
Turn grousing into energy, by writing.
