Just wanted to do a little blurb about the fairy tale otherwise-known-as "overnight success" and the fact that there is no such thing. So, I suppose this is unofficially Brief Entry #2.
There is no such thing as overnight success.
I'll say it again:
There is no such thing as overnight success.
Success comes from a spirit of humility, camaraderie, and appreciation. It comes from having enough respect for your talent to hone it, nurture it, and commit to it. Trust me. It's an uphill never ending battle that ripples and retracts over the course of your career. Especially so if you are in a creative field.
But what about Diablo Cody?
Oi veh! Are you [expletive] kidding me? Chicky spent ten years writing before she was 'discovered'. It's true. Look it up. I don't have time to toil through the Internet to corroborate what I'm saying, but I'll stand by it.
Here's the thing:
Opportunity + Preparation = Luck
So, I ask you: what are you doing to prepare?
And now, a little ABBA because I saw Mamma Mia the other day and I love them!
