![]() ![]() I seek opportunities to put my work into the world and I say yes to invitations to engage with others in the industry. ![]() I show up to online writing communities and accountability partners. So I show up to my desk, to conferences, to webinars, and critique groups. A career in publishing necessarily includes an enormous amount of rejection, and I decided early on to keep showing up no matter what. If I maintained a defensive mindset, I wouldn’t find the lessons I needed to learn or glean the gifts from setbacks along the way. I knew I would never achieve my publishing goals if I were too timid or insecure to take the risks required of a creative life. By that, I mean taking advantage of every opportunity to hone my craft, build relationships, or reframe obstacles into invitations. The habit I’ve actively cultivated and that has brought me the most benefit is the habit of showing up. Hi Megan E., what habits do you feel helped you succeed? Freeman and we’ve shared our conversation below. We had the good fortune of connecting with Megan E. ![]()
