Writing Success Quotes

Some say I’m an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years. But while I do, of course, now feel the pressure having had books that have been very successful, I just know I have to concentrate on writing for myself. I can’t worry about genres or markets or what might be commercial or not. That never works Picture Quote #1

I sometimes think it ironic for an ex-seaman, longshoreman, truck driver, policeman, bus driver, etc... to find success writing children’s novels Picture Quote #1

The funny thing is, about the time I let go of any aspiration toward worldly success, that’s about the time I started writing decent work Picture Quote #1

You don’t write for success. That takes part of your attention away from the writing. If you’re really doing it, that’s all you’re doing: writing Picture Quote #1
