He had been talking one day with his brother in their middle years, when both were hard-working professionals. <br />"I wish I could be a writer," said the brother. <br />"I don't think I'd ever want to be a writer," said Dave. "I would, however, like to write a book."<br />(He did go on to write a novel, and after an unplanned early retirement, went on to write 49 others.)Paula Johansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15546604458659721403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711689299045612790.post-5970238792837025772015-10-28T09:07:55.071-07:002015-10-28T09:07:55.071-07:00As a fellow author, I try to take the exact same v...As a fellow author, I try to take the exact same view of participating in the publishing world.
