Hugh Howey: 我从小就热爱航海，梦想环游世界，并最终实现这一梦想。在航海过程中，我不断调整自己的目标，享受旅途中的每一个时刻。我的写作之路也类似，起初我尝试了传统出版，但后来我选择自出版，并取得了巨大的成功。我将第一部作品的一部分内容免费提供，以吸引读者购买后续作品。在与出版商的合作中，我坚持保留电子书版权，并通过与不同地区的出版商合作，最大限度地拓展了我的作品的国际市场。我始终坚持自己的创作理念，并不断学习和改进自己的写作技巧。 Shane Parrish: 我们常常因为过去错失的机会而感到后悔，但这不应该成为我们前进的阻碍。现在就是改变人生的最佳时机。Hugh Howey 的成功经验告诉我们，坚持写作，克服自身的恐惧和不安全感，并善于利用各种资源，就能在自出版领域取得成功。
