Unqualified Success
Jim DeFilippi writes a book a week. Not really, but it seems like it. Let me put it this way: when I asked him to send me a section from the book he published in September he got confused and sent me an excerpt from a more recent publication . . . more recent than eight weeks ago!!
His indefatigable energy and passion for creative work is contagious. That’s why I had to share this quintessentially Jim passage from his excellent book, 100 Memoirs 100 Words. I hope it inspires you as much as it inspired me.
“The trajectory of my writing career has been a bit unorthodox— I started out at the top and slowly worked my way down.
Yet, I can’t complain. The lack of readership has allowed me (encouraged me) to hippityhop from crime fiction to humor to general fiction to history to stage drama to screenplays, with a bit of poetry and a cookbook.
There are very few genres where I have failed to fail.
But success cannot be measured in numbers. I use only one criterium when judging my books— How much fun they were to write.
I have achieved unqualified success.”
