Renee is something I call the success triangle. So actually just picture a

triangle with three S's on the corners. One S stands for sales, okay, how well something does, how many it's ships, right?

The second S stands for social, which is all about critical reviews, how well it does in the eyes of people you respect.

If it's a book, is it reviewed by the New York Times Book Review?

Is it nominated for a prize?

Does another author who you respect say they liked it?

You know, what is that social kind of corner?

And then the third S is self.

And how do you feel about it?

What's your intrinsic feeling?

that's the success triangle, is because I'm firmly convinced

that you can't have all three of them.
