The definition of Success

I think it was last week or something a thread was started on what counts as 'success' as an author. There was a heated debate, and I think really most people just agreed to disagree. Well yesterday the author John Connolly updated his blog with a post on the same subject, and I thought it was just interesting to see what, I at least consider, a relatively successful author had to say about it. Here it is: http://johnconnollybooks.com/blogger.html

Thoughts?

I guess what I found interesting and even reassuring from the article, wasn't his conclusion, but the thought that even he had insecurities. That he looked back on his recent book tour and wondered if he'd done enough. To me I am always wondering if I could have done more, and it's nice to know that everyone thinks that way. That it is rare for someone to sit back and go, "Ah yes, I've done absolutely everything! How satisfied I feel!" I like the thought that you can never do enough, and therefore there really isn't an ultimate goal of doing stuff you can do.

Just do what you can, try your hardest, and that's about it!

I thought it was nice.
