Great post. I think you nailed it with the types of personalities. Probably the writers who are the most successful have all of these elements in their personality at different times in their careers and at different stages. Really interesting post

I think I may print this and post it on my refrigerator as
My Validation! This, in itself, is a Great Motivator for those of us
who find Writing, as breathing, A MUST, and just like breathing, we
don’t think about it, but it happens… so, I guess I see Writing as a part
of my Autonomic system to Function! Thank you, Victoria, for Validating me!

What a great list! So often people talk as if there’s only one kind of way to be, if you want to succeed, but it isn’t true. And it seems to me that recognising what you naturally are, and then what it would be useful if you learnt to be a bit more, it the key to both getting somewhere in the industry, and staying sane.

And “get used to recognising when you’re blessed” is so important. Yes, some are luckier than others, but it’s very easy – because we’re mostly bred up that way – to see our own failures and deficiencies, in luck as in everything else, and not our successes and talents. We all have both.

It’s starting to hit me that the publishing world is a tad cutthroat. That aside, I’m still digging my nails into it and trying. I can say without a doubt that agent, editor, publisher, or none of the above–I will still be scribbling scenes down in my notebooks.
