Success is Always Just a Word Away By: Kimberly Sabatini

Success is...

showing up to write and learn every day--

no matter how long it takes to sell another book.
But believing you will.

Success is...

finding joy in writing--

unaware of where the story will take you.
And always being surprised at the twists and turns.

Success is...

 hearing from readers who find something on your pages and between your words--

and it's changed them.
Which changes you.

Success is...

giving back to your writing community--

because you'll never forget what it felt like to put yourself out there the first time.
And being supported.

Success is...

buying more books than you could ever read--

because every book you rescue from the shelf, gives another author wings.
And teaches you many things.

Success is...

being part of the Kidlit community--

because they rise to the occasion with every natural or human-made disaster.
On multiple levels, books save lives.

Success is...

having Indie Bookstores in your community--

and hanging out within their walls.
Books are meant to be touched.

Success is...

that quiet, stolen chunk of time--

when all the words come tumbling out--inspired.
The spark of Big Magic.

Success is...

the days when you feel anything but successful--

yet you show up to write and learn anyway.

And eat chocolate.
Success is always just a word away.

What makes you feel like a success?
