September 1 question - 

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?

Technically, these are questions, plural. 

I will stop being pedantic now and do my worst.

1) How do I define success as a writer?

Hell if I know. I'll let you know when it happens.

2) Is it holding your book in your hand?

I would have to hold my computer. I only publish e-books at this time.

3) Having a short story published?

I publish a new story every month. I don't define my abilities as a writer based on whether or not someone else will publish my work.

4) Making a certain amount of income from your work?

If I depended on income to define my worth as a writer, I'd give up writing and become an alcoholic. I'll start looking at my royalties if they ever amount to enough to make me notice them.

And there you have it. I told you I'd do my worst.
