I wonder what it must be like to be a highly successful writer like Stephen King or J.K. Rowling. To not only be well-paid as a writer, but to enjoy the fruits of your labor by seeing your stories translated into multiple mediums.
What would be more fulfilling, I wonder. To attend a glitzy Hollywood premiere of one of your books made into a major motion picture? Or to see it at home, in your living room, which by then would be fully decked out with an HDTV, home theater seating and plenty of speakers to get that 6.1 Dolby Surround Sound effect going on?
Or would the simple experience of seeing your book turned into a stage play be more fun? The possibilities of success seem endless. But ultimately, if they distract you from writing for very long, they won’t last.
