Be a Rock Star by Kim Ward

One of the best ways to get known in the literary world is by faking it until you make it. Instead of approaching situations and people as if you are merely a one book author self-published on Amazon, approach everything as if you are the next big writing star.

Attitude is everything and I can say with some conviction that I used this exact approach as I crawled my way to the top. When I first started writing I was just a girl from a small town in Wisconsin. I had no website, no background in writing, no following, no computer skills, no editing skills and no concept of the literary world.

But what I had that no school, agent or publishing house could ever have taught me was an attitude and belief that I was a best-seller, I was a rock star writer and I was a person who people should take notice of.  I never wavered on this belief. Every single time I was in the position of selling myself and my work I sold it as if investing in me was as good as investing in gold.

It did not take long for people to start to believe in me as well. Heck if I could think so highly of myself surly there must be something worthwhile in what I was doing.  One by one opportunities began to come into my life and before I knew it there was less faking it and more making it.

Now I’m not telling you to be false or untrue to who you are and what you stand for. All I’m saying is give yourself some credit, prop your bum up on a pedestal and let the world know you are worth your weight in gold! What you put out into the universe as a belief will come back to you. So from this day forward my friends, we are all best-sellers!
