I wrote 13 stories in 2010
under one pen name.
This wasn’t my first year writing.
I had some experience, knowledge, and skill.
I also wrote to what I thought
the market wanted.
(i.e. I didn’t write whatever I wanted)
2 stories were never purchased.
1 was purchased, but is not yet published.
1 was published and flopped.
(i.e. had very, very few sales)
5 had average sales.
3 had better than average sales.
1 had superstar sales.
The 1 superstar story in 13
made publishing the others
worth it for my publisher.
This isn’t that much different
for entrepreneurs.
You will have failures.
You will have average or blah results.
But that one superstar
will make it all worth while.
