My last blog post was intended to be a general blurb, about how trying to sell books has changed. I see there’s some kind of odd reception, as there usually is with all of my writing. Point is, I’m not worried. I have been asked time and time again how I do what I do, and I was going to make a set of posts detailing some aspects of my strategy but I don’t feel I should. I’m not looking for criticism or to be exposed as someone who ultimately wants to make a sale. Let me explain in my oh-so-bitchy-but-makes-sense sort of way:
It’s an achievement. It’s my dream.
In conclusion to my gripety-gripe-gripe post, I leave you with this:
Whatever your goal is—it should include a plan to succeed.
Whatever your goal is—it should include a plan to succeed.

I don't consider it bitchy to clarify or expand on your intentions. I also often write primarily for the story, or at least for my characters. This does read a little dissonant with your earlier claim that we need to sell everything but our novel, but I can appreciate where both drives come from.
Wise words, and none of this was bitchy. You should definitely factor success into any plan you have, and it's always nice to know what someone's ultimate intention is.
Bless the critics and their opinions. Do what makes YOU happy. That's what matters most.
