Cintia asked Mandy Baggot:

Hi... I've always wanted to be a writer, but it's been years since the last time I wrote, because I HAVE NO IDEAS. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to come up with anything, and I'm every day more discouraged, because I learned that 96% of manuscripts are rejected. With so many people wanting to be writers and those stats, I feel this is pointless, and I want to give up. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Mandy Baggot Hi Cintia. Thank you for your message. My simple answer is DON'T GIVE UP! If you have a passion to start writing then just do it for enjoyment first and think about the rest later. Write for you. Because you want to. Because it's going to give you pleasure. That's how most authors start out. Good luck!
