Odds Be Damned

The odds of getting a book traditionally published is about 1-2%. 

95% of all the books sent to publishers get rejected. 

80-82% of people say that they have a book inside of them they want to write some day. 

15% of them actually start to write a book. 

3% actually finish their book. 

And fewer than 1% will ever see their book get published. 

That means 0.1% of the entire population will write a book. 

What a life. 

Even if you are the 1% of the %1,

The odds of ever making a dime from that work

Is

Astronomical.

Oh well. 

Do it anyway. 

Because the odds of you being born was about 1 in 400 trillion.

You were born lucky, my friend.

So do whatever you want, odds be damned.
