081 || Why Being a #1 NY Times Bestselling Author is NOT My Goal


Listen Later

The idea of being a #1 NY Times bestselling author is not something I’m striving for. I’ve tried to make myself want to achieve that goal because I thought it was what I was supposed to want when I decided to be an author. I even did some research to figure out how one goes about reaching such a goal. 

The research didn’t change my mind. As a matter of fact, it made me want it less. 

Listen in to find out why being a NY Times Bestselling author, #1 or otherwise, is not my goal, and find out what goal I am chasing that does motivate me to write great fiction.

Your friend,

DK
