Striving for Improvement in Writing
The concept of continuously striving for improvement in writing, similar to Steinbeck's approach, is highlighted. Steinbeck saw 'East of Eden' as the culmination of his life's work, considering his previous works like 'Grapes of Wrath' and 'Of Mice and Men' as mere warm-ups, emphasizing the value of progression. The speaker acknowledges that having a breakout success with one's first book can be a challenge as it creates a high standard to meet continually. Reflecting on an interaction with an author, it is evident that maintaining early success can be difficult, making ongoing improvement crucial in the writing journey. The idea of continually honing one's craft and striving for betterment with each subsequent piece is presented as a commendable approach in the writing process, illustrating the potential for growth and development throughout a writer's lifetime.
