When pursuing a career in writing, authors often encounter an array of setbacks and disappointments that can dampen their spirits and stall their progress. Whether it’s the challenge of not meeting sales goals, receiving critical feedback, or simply not seeing the desired outcomes from countless hours of effort, these hurdles can significantly impact an author’s motivation and outlook. It’s common to feel stuck in a cycle of negativity, where each setback reinforces a pessimistic view of one's capabilities and future in the industry.
