There is a true story from the book Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul regarding a young woman whose college professor dissuades her from writing. He tells her her writing is terrible, and he can't understand how she was accepted into the school. He says he'll "help" her pass the class IF she promises never to write again. She agrees then doesn't write for fourteen years, although writing has always been her dream.
One day the woman tells a journalist the story about her professor's rejection of her desire to write. The journalist is shocked she gave up writing so easily. He even encourages her to send her work to him should she decide to write again. She does. He adores what she wrote. As a result, she submits her work to an agent who accepts her talent immediately.
"I will never give up my dreams again. Never," the woman resolves.
The writer is Catherine Lanigan, author of bestselling works like Romancing the Stone and Dangerous Love, both which became hit Hollywood films -- and these examples are just a couple out of the plethora of megahits created by the author.
