I am a writer. Writing a book is my job but it is further more than a job to me. Meanwhile it is the passion and love of my life. I do not think that this will ever change. On the other side, recently, there came up something weird that affects my life and my career. This weird thing helps me to improve my relation with my job. This weird thing was: a short time ago, I wrote my memory book named ; Eat, Pray, Love; but this book, unlike my previous ones was more popular, with one reason, huge, mega-sensational, international ‘’bestseller’’ came up. As a consequence, they look me like I am hapless wherever I go. Really, hapless, hapless! They come and ask me if I am scared, and if I am afraid of not being able to do the a better one. ''Even if you continue to write aren’t you afraid of that the people won’t be interested in the things you write. Hı? Not even looking at your face?'' I can’t tell how these words make me good. But, 20 years ago, when I was younger, I was telling the people that I was going to be a writer. Even if I won’t remember these fearful reactions, I would feel worse now. They said even more things:’’ Have you ever been afraid of not being successful? Won’t the shame of rejection kill you? Aren’t you afraid of devoting yourself for this craft and not getting any conclusion, broken dreams and unsuccessful experience? (Laughter) This was what they told.
