Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*T (and other tough-love truths to make you a better writer) is the name of the book where you can find this quote.

The book is by Steven Pressfield and whether you are a writer or anything else, you should have it in your private library.

Here's why.

-Nobody Wants to Buy Your Sh*t

-Nobody Wants to Fund Your Sh*t

-Nobody Wants to Listen to Your Sh*t

You get the point.

Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t

The quote’s context is Steven talking about becoming a writer, what that meant exactly for him.

What is a writer anyway?  he asked himself as he wrestled with who his real self was telling him he was and who the world said he needed to be. 

Is it akin to having a title like “fighter pilot” or “Zen monk?” he wondered.

He ultimately decided:

"I wanted it and, for good or ill, I have made it come true."

Being a writer was what it was, and that was good enough for him.

For anyone searching for something bigger than yourself, remember this:

In the end it’s about deciding what you want, wanting it more than anything else, and then rearranging your life to get it.

Simple. Straightforward. Self-explanatory.

Whatever you’re after has to be fueled by pure unadulterated desire.

That’s how it works.

Claim it then go.

Make it come true.
