I've plenty of reasons for my failings without looking more up.
I'll remember the blog one though.
Not that I have a blog.
oops.
If we are talking about why some authors fail to become professional writers, I think we should acknowledge that the odds against earning one's living by writing fiction are rather daunting. My advice is that one should accept the odds, and write the kinds of stories one would enjoy reading if someone else wrote them. After doing that it may be beneficial to modify the story to reach a market of readers, but one should not compromise one's tastes and standards. In posting stories on the internet I will not use obscene words, for example.

Authors do fail because their readers were not moved. There are missing factors in their story that their readers are looking for. The thing is that, authors who do experience these stuffs should not stop from writing; rather they must develop what they have and be much open to criticisms because this would make them a better writer. Failure is not an option, it’s a motivation.
