Failure? Take it out of your vocabulary.

Don't give power to the word 'Failure' because then it is being put out there and given life to breed.

Challenges and obstacles come to writers.  It is important to see each obstable, each challenge as an opportunity to try something new, learn a new skill within writing or to look deep within oneself and tell ourselves the truth about what we really want from writing.  What do you want to achieve?  What changes in your writing could you make?  Is it boredom, lack of inspiration or complacency?  What can I as a writer do to shake up my skills and put renewed enthusiasm and gumption into my writing?  Do I need to travel, go on a writing course abroad and totally take a new view at writing and my writing interests?  There are many questions a writer can ask to help them on the journey.  Remember 'Failure' is not an option it is a word used to demotivate.  Turn it around and find words and experiences to motivate.

I look at the failures as a hard experiences that can learn and polish me to be a better person .... and if i encountered any failures which is so normal i would keep trying and trying because once I stop trying this is the failure itself

You should grow up a passion. Writing is not a full time commitment. Take a new area of study. And work up until you become stable an all. Then you can write fulltime. And if you feel like getting away from writing, as I always say Keep a Diary!

Analyze it and learn from your mistakes. Check these couple of paragraphs from an article by bayt: 

2. WOW professionals are humble

‘Work hard, stay humble’ is how the age-old adage goes. A true professional lets his/her work speak for itself. A WOW professional accepts that they are human and fallible and are always willing to learn from weaknesses and work hard to overcome them. To step up to be a WOW professional curb that defensive impulse you get when faced with constructive criticism. Understand and accept that this will help you identify weakness and areas of improvement.

3. WOW professionals are persistent

“Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” Winston Churchill defines persistence well in this quote. These professionals take failure in their stride; to them roadblocks are an opportunity for learning and creativity not a stumbling block. Success does not come easily – it takes hard work, a firm resolve, fearless determination, and patience. When aiming to be a WOW professional do not let your initial failures deter you, instead let your failures motivate you to try a different approach until you finally succeed.
