How would you define success as a writer?

Inspired by one of the writers here, I’ve got to realize why not bring this to the table!

Before, it gives me some downfall or little insecurities whenever I could think that up to now I got no one book yet finished or released. Although writing a book is my dream and yet I was haunted by so many worries thinking about all the related managerial concerns a writer must do in creating one. Where I should write, how to start, how’s the cover will look like, the outline, where to publish and how to polish it, and most importantly its editing concerns and the worse, can I make it to the market? The competition is very high, and there are so many famous writers existing. I was just a newbie. Do you feel the same way and weigh in on those worries?

Until one day I’ve come to realize, writing is my passion, my heart sings to write all the beautiful and inspiring thoughts that magically and spontaneously run through my head. If I will live in hesitation, and thinking to be a successful writer is to own one book then I will be continuously living in questioning my capacity as a writer.Sharing your personal experiences, creating short poems, and anything you can write all mean success to me. Realizing success as a writer means getting the courage to express yourself in writing! It is part of you being thrown and shared with other people. Convincing others about your imaginary power ( realistically or technically )that every words and letter have that magical and powerful effect that can somehow touch and change someone’s life is one thing as a writer . Expressing yourself is sometimes an issue and can block your way as a writer.

In the end, either you write to achieve success and be known as a professional writer or you are there just to follow your passion, both are significantly important, and as long as it makes you happy never stop writing!

Keep on writing!
