Congrats. Seven years of anything is a long time (A seven-year itch, or seven years of the Plague...or worst of all, the possibility of seven years of the Orange Plague by 2024). <br /><br />And congrats on the new book. Can't wait to read it. Born and raised in Chicago, lived half-a-lifetime in both city and suburbs, and I'm also a Chicago history, transit, and trivia junkie. But I know I'll learn a lot.<br /><br />Mazel tov and zei gesunt, boychik.

They look forward to your writing . . . every gd day! BUT only you can decide what success is to you. There are a myriad of definitions of success — just ask Google. I hope yours is not the number of Internet hits. If it is, then you can change that. Go bigger. Get a PR person, advertise more, do more public appearances, go after it; but frankly, that does not sound like you. Success is not always in the accolades and awards, it is in the craft. How many fine, talented folks are nominated and how many get the award? Often the ones nominated made the audience laugh or cry or feel more than the winner did. You do that!
