There were
8,240
new romance titles
published in 2010.
This number was as intimidating
when I started writing.
Fellow unpublished writers
would point this number out
and say there was too much competition.
They’d use it as an excuse
not to try.
Today, I’m writing full time,
earning a living from writing,
and they’re still waiting.
If you’re in a healthy industry,
you’ll have competition.
You should know that competition.
You should respect that competition.
You should design your product/company
so it is unique from that competition.
You should never use
competition
as an excuse
not to try.
If I can become successful
in an industry with thousands of competitors,
you can become successful also.
