I finally have a half decent selling story
under one of my pen names,
one of those breakout hits.
I REALLY wanted to kick back this weekend
and relax.
I didn’t.
I’m writing this post at 2 am
because I had to get another story done
and two cover art requests out.
I have a success today
but the success I have tomorrow
depends on the hard work I do now.
Usually once success finally happens,
it is after a lot of hard work.
The temptation is to then
rest on your laurels.
You’ve earned your success.
Sit back and enjoy it.
The thing is…
success is fleeting.
Continuing that success
requires continuing that same hard work
Unfortunately,
that means no resting,
no sitting back and enjoying it.
