Small Wins Are Real Wins

Not every victory comes with fireworks. Sometimes a win looks like: I wrote 247 words. I finally named the character. I fixed the opening paragraph. I wrote for ten minutes even though I didn’t feel like it. I reread my old manuscript and didn’t hate it. I submitted even though I was nervous. I decided not to quit. Those moments matter because books, stories, poems, and scripts are built from hundreds of them.
