1. You’ve finally reached the point where you don’t care how much people judge you for saying you want writing to be your full-time job/more than just a hobby.

2. You still share your work even when it’s scary/you’re not sure if it’s “good enough.”

3. You’ve learned how to handle constructive criticism and you’re able to use it to improve your writing.

4. You’ve established a set writing schedule you know works. You might not always follow it line by line, but when you do, you’re right on track.
