I say write your heart out at every shot that you get. If you get rejected, so be it. Make the most of your writing opportunities. You can do so with a traditional publisher or you can go the route of self-publishing your own work. I go so far as to post my poetry online. I even try my hand at some popular blogging strategies that may or may not seem so profitable.
How do I do so?
- Maintain an online profile
- Add/ contribute content
- Write when I'm on
- Write when I'm off
- Read and read a wide variety of genres and publications
- Write some more
