Writing Mistake: Not Submitting

 Writer's Digest continues it series about mistakes writers make. 

Writing Mistakes Writers Make: Not Submitting Your Work seemed a strange mistake. Some writers have written without being keen on publishing - Kafka wanted his manuscripts destroyed. Then with this passage all became clear:

Submitting your work means that you’re taking yourself seriously. You’re taking your career seriously. And when you do get those yeses, you’re building a nice résumé to show off to potential agents or to use in your next book’s bio. And practice makes perfect—the more you submit, the better you’ll get at submitting, and the more work you’ll likely get published down the line.

Is one doing their best work if they are not taking their work seriously? I finally take serious what others took seriously for me. I keep submitting. I keep working on my writing so that it might be good enough for publishing.
