You lose by receiving rejection letter upon rejection letter. Rejection plays negatively at your emotions. You begin questioning your choice.

On other hand, when you have opportunity to unleash your creativity, you write what you want and make a living from it. Knowing you will make it, because it is all in your hands, you find that your passion for writing reaches heights never before experienced. You find that your writing becomes much better. You grow as a person. Your life becomes so much better.

Listen. It’s not all about money. You can really make a comfortable income on internet but by far biggest benefit is that you can become writer you want to be. There are no markets, no limitations, no one to tell you what is best for you. You know this very well.

You can sell your own fiction yourself. If you want to make it as a writer, this is by far easiest, quickest and more profitable option.

* You can keep generating sales from your short stories. Don’t only sell them once to a publisher. Keep selling same stories over and over again.

Becoming frustrated with submitting to publishers I thought I’d try to sell my stories myself and ‘see what happens.’ I saw what happened alright. I saw I’d been wasting my time all those years settling for less. I’m thankful to that writer who opened my eyes to power of internet.

I’ve made more from this book of short stories than I sell at http://www.storieswithatwist.com than I’ve seen all those years waiting for publishers to sell my stories.

I’ve learnt something from this experiment.

If you want things to happen – you have to make them happen.

The transition between unpublished and published lies in your thinking.

Do you want to keep submitting to publishers to see what happens?
