You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
I was aware that there is an expectation that writers inevitably falter at this stage, that they fail to live up to the promise of their first successful book, that the next book never pleases the way the prior one did. It simply increased my sense of being challenged.
A desert is a place without expectation.
