Success as a Writer

I told people before that anyone could write a story, but not everyone could be an author. We all want to be successful at it, some of us can even have some of the best stories out of five, but no one would ever know, because we don't have a tittle. We're not established and no one knows our name, so why read a book by a nobody? So how did Colleen Hoover and Stylo Fantome become as successful as they are, mind you they were nobody's too.
Everyone can be an author, you just need to write a good book, market the hell out of it and never give up on your dream. You never give up, not ever. Because there is always going to be one negative out a million positives and the trick is to never let that one outweigh the many.
