Great, encouraging article about taking chances in order to open opportunities to succeed as an author. I write fiction mostly but am inspired by your words.

“What dream are you waiting to see fulfilled?”
I want to write a novel and a short story collection.

“What steps are you taking to make it happen?” For the later, I’m writing a Medium series of dialogue-style fiction. For the former, I’ve written over half the novel, and I’m setting hours aside every weekday morning to get the rest written. I actually found a lower paying job so I could devote more time to the novel, which was a big step toward getting this far.
