Newer writers often think that getting published is the hardest part. But the truth is, that’s only half the battle. What you really want to be (or at least I do, anyway) is a published author who sells books.
Which brings me to one quality you’ll need if you want to be a writer: Grit.
When I finish a yoga class I often say Namaste to my students, a beautiful Sanskrit word that means (approximately), the following:
My soul honours your soul.
I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides.
I honour the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you, because it is also within me.
In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one.
