“Nihil est melius quam vita diligentissima.” i.e. Nothing is better than a most diligent life.
Diligent: adj: Marked by persevering, painstaking effort, i.e. being an author.
But, if you aspire to be an author, here are a few helpful hints: 1) Don’t quit your day job 2) Learn to exist on less sleep 3) Indeed, learn to exist on less of everything, 4) And by all means, learn to be most diligent. Like a rock wall created by artist Andy Goldsworthy, books are built one stone at a time and you often only have a vague notion of where you are headed.
