A lot of the dissatisfaction described in the last chapter comes from not being clear about your definition of success. Publishing a book for many people is a nebulous goal that has dollar signs and media mentions attached to it, but often hasn't been specified clearly enough. So whatever stage you're at on the writer's journey, identifying your definition of success will help a great deal.

Why are you writing?

Why do you want your book published and out in the world for others to read?

Go beyond the initial answer to the deeper reasons we create because writers are not a homogenous bunch, and we all strive for different things, for different reasons, and this may change over time. But it's important to identify these so you can measure your journey, celebrate your successes and understand how far you've come over time.

It comes down to three questions:

What is your definition of success – for this particular book and for your writing career?

How will you track and measure that success?

What do you want to do with that success? What is the point in your creative work?
