Work, passion, commitment, community-building, and a little bit of luck ... if anyone on Reddit had an easy answer to this there'd be way more people writing books. And with that said, excluding self-published authors, roughly one million books are published each year in the United States alone and a very small percentage of those sell 10k copies. Stick with it if you enjoy the process and hopefully your wish comes true.
