This will be a quick one. It’s something I want to say but I don’t have any other forum to say it so…here it is.
Today, someone commented that they had not had the success that I have had in regards to writing.
I was a bit thrown by this because….success? I’m successful? When did this happen? Why didn’t anyone tell me?
And then I heard a little voice in my head whisper, “Darling, what do you think success is?”
“I think success is a little bit more than $4 royalties from Amazon, for starters.”
I could almost hear my Muse take a long sip of ambrosia to calm their nerves so as to not slap me out of existence.
“Darling, the fact you have written stories and actually pushed them out of the nest IS a success.”
*long drink*
“Idiot.”
So, the moral here is that no matter how much of a third tier loser you think you are, someone out there might actually think you’re pretty cool.
