A piece of great writing evolves through time. As the writer matures and becomes wiser, the same thing happens to his work. And usually, money follows success.
If such is the usual timeline, a little time traveling into some distant future is in order. We can catch a glimpse of our future self and then travel back to the present to see what's missing in our lives. If we can find what can fit best our image of a "successful" future then surely the mystery of success is practically solved.
The first missing piece of the puzzle involves myLot. How would an aspiring writer use a forum to advance his writing career? And more importantly, why should myLot be even in the story? Hmm. Me thinks that Sherlock Holmes has picked up the scent to this mystery.
So, how would you solve your own mystery of success?

Well, if you start a blog publication now, it would at first be a bit bare and empty. However, if you can imagine a future where a lot of people will be reading your blog then you'd understand what I'm trying to say here.
Between now and the future is a huge unknown. How well you connect the dots from the present all the way to your imagined future is what success is all about.

Hmm. Nobody's here. It's nice and quiet. I can do some serious thinking here. Or maybe I should Twitter instead. Later.

Problem #1: I'm spending too much time in here. I'd like some kind of productive output.
Solution #1: Write something. Do it in pieces so it's not too obvious. And after that, post whatever I've done here at Twitter so I can manage my timelines. Hmm. Timeline is not a word? Should it be two words?

Here's an idea. I can transform my discussions here into some kind of Twitter timeline.
