In my decades of writing fiction – attending seminars and workshops, listening to and reading essays on the craft of various published authors – I’ve realized there are only 4 basic tenets of achieving that lofty and often unattainable goal of becoming a truly successful scribe.
They are:
- Get money.
- Write a book.
- Get that book published.
- Repeat.
