There’s nothing complicated about finding one’s way onto the road to success. At least, not for NY Times best-selling author Diana Gabaldon. In her interview with Dee-Ann Leblanc on the “Freelance Survivor” website she was asked for her most important piece of advice:
“Keep doin’ it. Not only do you get better at something, the more you do it—persistence is the single most important aspect of success.”
It’s not complicated, but it’s profound in its simplicity and truth. Just “keep doin’ it.”
I am, Diana. I am.
Great article. She sounds fascinating. I’ve never heard of her, but that’s because I don’t generally read that genre. Thanks for pointing me in Diana’s direction.
I’ve met Diana at a number of the Surrey Conferences. She’s a delightful person–very warm and personable, and always helpful. It’s not my genre either, but I think she’s a very good writer. I’m reading one of her earlier novels right now to study her techniques.
