We are all chasing success like a dog chases its bacon-wrapped tail. But you know what? I’d rather chew on armpit crust than be a young writer who gets a viral hit in their second month — a writer who makes the big bucks from the very start. Early success isn’t something that should be envied. It’s a curse.
