Sometimes the reader isn't even able to state what the exact problem is, just that
"something isn't right." Always be aware of whose viewpoint you are in and why. For

VII. Lack of Persistence. Surely, giving up is the deadliest of all the deadly sins. Writers
who decide they "aren't good enough" or "don't have time" to write will never be
published. Writers who fail to take advice and further their understanding of the writing
craft will never be published. And writers who accept rejection as defeat will never be
published. To quote my favorite uncle, "You aren't defeated until you give up."
So, don't let any of the Seven Deadly Sins of Writing kill your chances of being
published. Read. Write. Study. Persist. No one ever said it would be easy, but if you have
that passion in your soul, nothing will stop you from succeeding. Go for it.
