Thats my definition, I spent thirty years reading and thought I could do a better job. There is a real difference though between thinking this and doing this.

I finally published my first book last month, I don't care if it sells any, I think it is good and it will still be there long after I'm gone. I'm certainly going to continue now the dam has broken.

In the words of a great writer, Philipp Kerr, who unfortunately died way too young: "“In a war staying alive is a bit like playing tennis. It looks a lot easier when you’ve never had to play yourself."

From Greek Bearing Gifts, part of the fabulous Bernie Gunther's cycle.
