In a
nutshell, here’s the rule to the Great Law: If you do what other successful authors
do, over and over again, nothing can stop you from eventually enjoying the same
rewards that they do. But if you don’t do what successful authors do, nothing
can help you.
So,
success is not an accident. Sadly, failure is not an accident either. You succeed,
over and over, until these behaviors become a habit. Likewise, you fail if you
don’t do what successful authors do. In either case, nature is neutral. Nature
does not take sides. Nature doesn’t care. What happens to you is simply a
matter of law—the law of cause and effect.
In
Buddhism it is simply stated: Good deeds bring good results. Bad deeds bring
bad results. Your own deeds bring your own results. Easy-peasy, right? Well,
not so easy for many of us wanna-be bestsellers. But, if you want to be the kind
of writer you desire to be, then start by following what your ‘role model’
author does, and over time and effort, you’ll reach the same heights as he or
she or they have. It’s not a quick rich scheme. It’s not even a plan for being
an overnight success. It’s a hard and messy and nerve wracking journey. And
it’s WORTH it, if that’s where you’re heading. I hope to see you on the road
less traveled in the near future!
Who
are some of your ‘role model’ authors? What are you doing that they’re doing?
Cheers!
