Nathan's Friday post linked to a blog posting by JA Konrath which I just got around to reading. It's about how to tell whether a writer is confident, or just delusional.
It casts an interesting side light on my bad books discussion. Here's a quote.
"Confident writers know they'll be published, if they keep at it.
Delusional writers think they'll be rich and famous.
Confident writers work to get the words right.
Delusional writers think they got the words right the first time.
Confident writers expect to be periodically rejected.
Delusional writers are shocked every time someone fails to recognize their brilliance."
Ok, I am definitely delusional.
