I appreciate your posts a lot. I love people who shares what they learn in their own way, showing themselves naked in front of us.
In my opinion the most important thing to get what you are looking for is the tenacity and perseverance. Is what you said in other post: writing for a whole year every day, even you didn't get any rewards.
There are a lot of people that left their projects if them doesn't work in the firsts months.
The point is don't give up. This is my own opinion.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers.
