September 1 question – How do you define success as a writer? Is it holding your book in your hand? Having a short story published? Making a certain amount of income from your writing?
——-
Sorry gang, I’m a little under the weather today, but I didn’t want to miss IWSG day. So here I am for just a second:
To my way of thinking, we all have our own definition of success. My success might not be yours. I like what Pele, the Brazilian pro football player had to say about success:
“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”
I think that sums it up. Come up with a game plan for your writing life then get busy. Work toward those goals and dreams. Success will find you when you least expect it. 🙂
That quote is spot on. Hope you feel better quickly. Nothing worse that being sick when there’s writing to be done.
Hello to you! Thanks for popping in, Lee.
I enjoyed my visit!
Sorry you’re feeling under the weather. And speaking of weather, really glad Ida spared Lake Charles this year.
Thank you, Diane! We’re glad it missed us too but so sad it traveled up the east coast. So much damage.
“Success is not accident…” Love that sentence. Nice post. Thanks!
Thanks Judy!
