Today in my never ending quest to sharpen the saw, I watched a video with Author Kevin Anderson. He has written 140 books and sold 23 million copies. The title of the video was "How to Have a Successful Long-Term Writing Career." The video is approximate 35 minutes long and consist primarily of a infomercial for Kevin Anderson. It is short on advice. One thing that he does say is that he likes to have a lot of irons in the fire. He has multiple projects all working at the same time. He calls this the popcorn theory. In other words you put a lot of kernels in a pan, put on some heat and you never know which ones going to pop first. He speaks a little towards the current status of the book industry and its inevitable shift away from traditional publishing houses. If you want to good advice on how to have a successful long-term writing career, you need to find it someplace other than this video.
