This week on The Page Half Full, I talk about how I redefined success when my writing journey didn’t follow that path of write a novel, get an agent, get published, become a bestseller (yet…).

Some successes are so small you might ignore them. And some small successes at that opportune time can feel like a massive breakthrough! Here I wanted to share a list of various little successes anyone can achieve in their writing journey.

• That feeling of inspiration
• Finding the perfect word
• Typing “THE END”
• Completing a revision
• Sending out your first query
• A positive rejection
• Filling an entire notebook or journal with your words
• Getting a new story idea
• When the words just flow
• Meeting a new writer friend
• Getting a comment on a story posted online
• Realizing what your story’s theme is
• Reading an old story and realizing how far your writing has come
• When someone tells you your story reminds them of [insert favorite author/book here]

What little success have you had in your writing?
