Georgi Y. Johnson
If you write from ego - to produce a best seller, to solve financial difficulties or fears, or to impress others and be "seen" as glorious, it is going to be quite a suffering.
Write because you need to. Write even if the only reward is in writing. Even if your book only helps one person - see that person as a whole universe.
And as much as you write, also listen - to the inner voice. Be loyal to That.
