Our job is to write stuff we're passionate about and what to share with people
This is the bottom line for me, and it's taken me years to actually realise that, as stupid as that sounds. I'm not denying I don't still dream of seeing my books in Waterstones or Borders (maybe not Borders, now...), but what I've realised this past year is that what's really important to me is sharing my work with readers and having them enjoy it.
And actually, I'm a lot happier with my writing now I'm not putting pressure on myself to chase agents and publishers every second of the day too!
