What does success as a writer mean to you? Is it awards? Is it positive reviews? Or do you worship the almighty dollar?
I know to me, I like to hear that someone has enjoyed my work; for a stranger to have happened upon one of my books, and delighted in the experience.

In my book, Written ( getbook.at/wonkindle ), the protagonist, Rebecca finds herself contemplating this very issue. She's a little known fantasy writer, and is consumed with the idea of what she thinks success as a writer is. She sees other writers and their successes and believes that they undermine her own.

I'm sure we've all done it... You see other writers on Twitter and Facebook, and think, why can't I have that success? I think it's important to remember that we are all story weavers. All writers are out to promote themselves, and sometimes, the publicised persona doesn't match up to the person behind the laptop. We all just want to tell our stories, and worrying about how you measure up to others isn't going to help that.

So, Rebecca, sets out to become a romance novelist, in the hope that this will help her break through and become the success she wishes to be. She learns a lot about herself, and about what success really means. It means being happy, being proud of your work, and above all else, feeling the story.

So, if like me, you're a little indie, fighting for every sale and review... take heart. We're all in the same boat, and we can and should support one another.
