Follow your curiosity. Follow your passion. Don’t get caught up in worrying about success or fame. It’s easy to because we live in a culture in which we see a lot of celebrities. So, you can’t really get caught up in that aspect of it. Instead, what you need to do is follow your curiosity. Write what you’re most fascinated by, write what enchants you and put your heart and soul into it. Then, probably you will be successful, but even if you’re not you will have had a fulfilling and interesting life.
