Does anyone else get overwhelmed and depressed in bookstores?

Question

I keep thinking, if only I'd got my act together, I could be one of these published authors. How do all these people do it! What is the trick?

Really?? Finding a bookstore nowadays makes me so happy knowing the fact that they actually exist during this day and age.

i recently read a book about being a novelist. the book is written by a very prolific writer, haruki murakami (not sure if there is an english translation.. read it in korean). he didn’t become a writer till his mid thirties and he started writing at night after work (with pen and paper! old schol). maybe this is something you can try, anon, if you truly want to be a writer. he also writes that even though he doesn’t feel like writing, or feels like writing more, he makes sure to write exactly 20 pages each day. it’s like a muscle you need to exercise but not overly do it. i hope this helps!

I never get to the overwhelming part of searching because I go straight to customer service for help on where the book is. I'm super lazy but it gets the job done.
