I made sure that I enjoyed what I was writing, that I loved the process. I think it’s important for successful artists to share all that they’ve endured so our expectations match reality.Ī few tricks really helped me: I planned from the outset to languish in obscurity for ten years before I assessed my progress.

Best-selling author Hugh Howey is known not just for his literary works like the Wool and Silo series, but also for his advocacy for self-published authors. ![]()
