For Aspiring Authors

Fri, 07/16/2010 - 09:30

People often ask about the writer's life. Writing is an absorbing, draining, exhilarating, maddening, fulfilling way to spend your time. It's like  trying to paint the Mona Lisa with somebody holding a stopwatch beside your easel. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle by first finding a million pieces that are hidden all over the world. Writing a book is like running a marathon while wearing a straightjacket. This, on the other hand, is what its like to be "an author."
