Many writers feel that touching even one life is success. Not by how many books one published, or by how many awards one garnered; although these are VERY nice to have.
For some writers, writing goes much deeper than any physical items or accolades. It’s about using their gifts as storytellers, healers, change-makers for the sake of others.
Success is based on the number of lives impacted.
What about you? How do you view success as a writer?
A writer & her adolescent muse 
I feel successful as a writer if I am reaching people; teaching them something or giving them comfort in some way. I also feel successful when I am actually writing instead of just calling myself a writer, which I have done for very long stretches when felt I had lost my voice.

Similar to you 🙂 I’ve always wanted to use my writing to touch people in some ways and if I do then I feel I’ve been successful. I’m also looking to hopefully to traditionally publish a book (still needs to be written) and once I’ve done this, I will also feel like I’ve been successful. I suppose the term “success” will change as I continue on this writerly path. 🙂
