Elizabeth George writes in her book "Write Away":
"You will be published is you possess three qualities - talent, passion and discipline. You will probably be published if you possess two of the three qualities in either combination - either talent and discipline or passion and discipline. You will likely be published if you possess neither talent nor passion but still have discipline. Just go to the bookstore and pick up a few "notable titles and you'll see what I mean. But if all you possess is talent or passion, if all you possess is talent and passion you will not be published...A lot of writing is simply showing up. A lot of writing is just being willing to show up day after day; same time, same place..."
