"Ultimately, if you want to be a writer, all you have to do is write." Love it.

Such a powerful post! So true in all areas of our lives! What makes you an entrepreneur? The billion dollar valuation. What makes you an actor? The blockbuster movie. What makes you a chef? The Michelin star. But anyone who has success in their chosen field was unsuccessful prior to success! And they were the same person. So what if the book is not a « bestseller »?! Suddenly you didn’t write it? There is only one way not to be a this or a that, not doing it. You can’t be a writer without writing. But you can be a writer without success.
