Being a writer can be tough sometimes. Not only do you have to constantly come up with new and interesting ideas, you also have to deal with the inevitable rejections that come with trying to get your work published. And even if you're lucky enough to get a book deal, there's no guarantee your book will be a bestseller. In fact, most books don't sell very well at all.

So what do you do when your writing career hits a rough patch? How do you stay positive when it feels like everything is going wrong? Here are three tips that might help:

1. Remember that everyone goes through rough patches

No matter how successful a writer you are, there will always be times when things are tough. Maybe your latest book isn't selling as well as you had hoped, or you're having trouble getting ideas for your next project. Maybe you just feel burnt out and uninspired. Whatever the reason, it's important to remember that everyone goes through rough patches. Even the most successful writers have had their share of setbacks and disappointments.

2. Focus on the positive

It's easy to dwell on the negative when things aren't going well in your writing career. But instead of dwelling on the negatives, try to focus on the positive. For example, if your latest book isn't selling as well as you had hoped, focus on the fact that it got published in the first place. Or if you're struggling to come up with ideas for your next project, focus on the fact that you have been able to successfully write and publish several things in the past. Focusing on the positive will help you maintain a more positive outlook and will ultimately be more helpful in getting through tough times.

3. Seek out support from other writers

One of the best ways to stay positive during tough times is to seek out support from other writers. There are lots of online communities and forums where writers can connect with each other and offer support and advice (including this one!). Talking to other writers who have been through similar experiences can help you feel less alone and can give you some great ideas for how to stay positive and keep moving forward in your career.

These are just a few tips for staying positive when your writing career hits a rough patch. Writing is such a solitary endeavor that it can be hard to remember you aren't alone. Remember, everyone goes through tough times, and it's important to focus on the positive aspects of your career, even when it feels like everything is going wrong. If you need some extra support, seek out other writers who can offer advice and encouragement.
