Zane Grey couldn't sell a single story his first five years as a writer. George Gershwin composed almost one hundred melodies before he sold his first one--for $5. Somerset Maugham earned only $500 in his first ten years as a writer. S.N. Behrman, an American playwright, wrote plays for eleven years before he sold one.
So keep at it! Never, never, give up. Keep studying your craft. Keep pursuing.
