NO, perseverance Is the key towards success.
My mom always used to tell me that: “Even if you don’t succeed the first time, you keep going on and you keep trying. Firstly, because you might do something great, or even greater than all your last attempts. Secondly, if you have a dream, an aspiration or anything, you should try with alla yourself to reach your goal.”
If writing makes you feel good, and it should satisfy you first, then the others. Then I think that you should continue writing. Moreover, I love your stories, especially “Project Hope”. You write so good that you captivate me. And if you ask me that’s what a good book should do! <3
