“A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.” Richard Bach
Have you noticed the disappearing bloggers phenomenon?
They start off all eager, posting and commenting and following. Then (the writers especially) start complaining about how much time blogging takes. There’s often a post to strategize how to best utilize their time. For some, school gets in the way. Then there are those who take off for a couple of months or the summer or to work on a WIP.
And never come back.
I’ve noticed this with writers. They begin writing, bright-eyed and bushy tailed. The writers complete a rough draft and think, "That wasn’t so bad." Then they join a writing group or take a workshop or find a critique buddy. They submit pages. They’re told their manuscripts aren’t as awesomesauce as they thought.
They back off.
Do they take the feedback (after some time spent in a fetal position under a table) and work to make their manuscript better?
Some stop writing.
