My advice is to walk your own path. But, this advice is coming from someone who normally lives a nontraditional lifestyle when it comes to society's standards or expectations, so you may or may not want to take my advice.
I believe in staying true to yourself and your work. Follow writing rules that apply to you and toss the rest out of the window. Don't compare yourself to others. I repeat; DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS.
We all define success differently, so comparing your work to someone else's work is just not a productive thing to do.
Write down the things that would make your heart sing. Then make it happen. That's my advice.
