It's tough being a writer. There are so many hurdles and it's easy to crumble with rejection. What Qualities should you develop? http://www.awaines.blogspot.co.uk/201...

Patience, perseverance, and a day job......at first :)
I'm not a writer, but I read a lot. There are a lot of writers jumping into Amazon's pool who don't take it seriously. Out of self-preservation, I've developed a more discerning eye in the first 3 pages. I can read the 'look inside' thing and know whether the writer can write or not.That post on blogspot is all about determination when most writers need some basic skills. Here's a couple posts from writers I like:
