Above all we must do and continue to do what we think we should do. Then things start to happen. When I began writing, I never imagined I would have any readers, not to mention large numbers of them. One Hundred Years of Solitude was my fifth book. It was five years before my first one was published. It went from publisher to publisher, from press to press. It finally came out, but it was a long time before it began to sell. You have to do your own work, then wait and see. To be able to live from one's writing is a stroke of luck. It can't be a goal.
