 |  | The Writer's Stairway  [E] A budding writer tries to discern what it takes to be successful.  |
| (5.0)| Hello, Jaye P. Marshall . This is a review from "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" !  I received "The Writer's Stairway" via an official email with a recommended item list and yours looked interesting. I have the following comments to offer. Reader ExperienceDick has always written and always aspired to be a great writer, but up until now success has eluded him. Why is that? CommentaryWriting about writing on a writer's site you share some interesting insights with writers. This piece triggered a few memories of how it all began in my case. I remember being published in a local newspaper several times at around ten years of age for short stories and poems. Your piece described the agony of rejection, which is the staple diet of most writers. We learn from the feedback we get and try and improve our art. But I wonder if just wanting to be a writer for its own sake is as important a goal as having something you want your readers to hear. The publication process is antiquated and needs an overall. It misses too much talent and is controlled by a small pool of often arrogant and misguided agents and publishers who are desperately competing with each other in a tough marketplace. They are trying to read what works but what works is not always something that they can grasp. Often they promote the wrong people and miss the right ones. On the other hand these days there is always Amazon which is relatively painless so long as you do not mind doing your own publicity and marketing. Making your audience feel is the all-important connection with the reader People read emotions in novels and enjoy the rollercoaster ride the author takes them on. I wrote something recently that got me a whole load of positive comments, but I later realized only from men. Then my daughter read it and took the whole piece apart and now I feel compelled to rewrite whole sections of my original work. Our readers are part of the reason we write and our engagement with them means the writer's task is never done. Mechanical issuesAfter 77 reviews this piece has little/nothing to be corrected so I focused on the content. Thanks for sharing. ** Image ID #1900402 Unavailable **
