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?
My Answer
All the above. Success is typing 'The End' at the finish of that first draft and then highlighting it bold after the final edit. It's also hitting publish button on Amazon or signing that contract for publication. Signing your first copy to a reader. Getting a five-star review. Winning a place in a popular anthology or placing in a writing contest.
This year,
for me, it's finishing a series, and starting a new one.
Each
incident has its own feeling of satisfaction, and they should all be
celebrated!

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your new series!
Good point--there are many successes along an author's path. I wish you happy wriitng in September!
ReplyDeleteEveryone does have their own measure of success, and it's important that we don't judge ourselves by other writers' definitions. Congrats on starting a new series! That's exciting!
