Yep, this. It really does take ten years to become an overnight sensation. Brandon Sanderson was writing his 13th doorstop fantasy when his 6th was picked up. And the only way to make it is Write, Submit, Write, Submit, Write, Submit.

I have been doing this networking thing for years--and by "networking" I mean "making actual friends with people without regard to what they can do for me." And it all came together in one lovely package not too long ago, and I was offered a book contract last week for my one and only novel.

But I didn't write that novel and sit on it. I wrote that novel, and before and after I wrote a boatload of shorts. I am still writing shorts; I'm working on my 52nd short as we speak. I use the Submission Grinder to find markets, I have a spreadsheet, and the second it comes back it goes out again.

The only way to make it in this business is psychotic persistence and rhino skin.
