i just don't believe in failure

all my attempts are not successes,
but they are not failures.

i sometimes get disgusted when i think about
writing that i won't succeed, but in the long
run i don't consider my writing a failure.

success writing a short story beginning middle end

writing a short story - ten pages

writing a short story - 20 pages

writing a short story - 30 pages.


writing a story for a week
staying with the same story.

and what does succeed to me mean
when i write a story, 10 -20 - 30 pages
beginning middle and end
and i like it.

then i might go on to what other people like.
