How would you answer that question, fellow writers? Are you in it for the money (ha!), the fame (double-ha!), your name on the book cover?
I shared my 'Made It Moment' with Jenny Milchman, and it wasn't about any of those things... Check it out here.
What's yours?

I'm always a bit gobsmacked when someone actually pays me for something I've written.
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know when it happens.
ReplyDeleteI really like your "Made It" moment, Fleur. While we may say "I'll know I made it when I'm a Jeopardy! question" or "When Russell Crowe is starring in the film version" the truth is that made-it moments will surprise you. It'll be some business-as-usual moment and you're like: Whoa. I'm an author.
ReplyDeleteGetting paid is nice too :-) And you're right, Jenny: it's those unexpected moments that do it.
ReplyDeleteHasn't happened yet. I'll let you know. Whoops, see even that wasn't original!
