“I'm disciplined about writing. I get up every day knowing I have to produce work. I'm less concerned about other aspects of the job, such as the prizes and promotions.

Prizes encourage me to work harder on my next project.” FeelsWritingEnoughJobsNextKnowingProduceHard WorkProjectsConcernedAspectHarderGet UpPrizeAwkwardPromotingPromotionWork HarderSociable Author:Sefi Atta
“What works for me is that I read widely and stay focused on my writing. I'm no longer concerned about what happens in the literary marketplace. It is distracting and can lead to discontent.” WritingHappensConcernedFocusedMarketplaceDiscontentStay Focused Author:Sefi Atta
