Trade offs…
“It seemed like the wrong book; I seemed like the wrong writer; and I almost didn’t do it. But it is my best book” ~ Ken Follett.
Ken already had a reputation and a successful career as a thriller writer. Then a sudden burst of inspiration hit his mind to write a historic novel on a subject completely out of his depths.
Against all odds he immersed himself into the cause and came up with one of the most popular books in recent history, The Pillars of the Earth. He risked his reputation to conquer realms unknown.
Today, opportunity knocks. Are you willing?
