It doesn’t need to be how you starved for years before people bought some of your art.
It doesn’t need to be how you read thousands and thousands of books as a child before you realized you were a writer.
It doesn’t need to be who your family is connected to.
You know these stories because of their popularity. They were once rare, which made them famous stories at the time. Now a starving artist is expected, writers are expected to read a lot, and if you have a lot of money, people first wonder who you’re related to, not how you did it.
These don’t make for good stories anymore, so why try replicating them?
By all means, learn from the already-accomplished, have idols, imitate morning habits if you want to, but make your success story your own.
