I think finally good writing gets out there, and people like it, and bad writing doesn't. Well, no. Bad writing does get out there 'cause some people like it.
From Robert B. Parker
If you want to write, write it. That's the first rule. And send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. Don't send it to me. Don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. They're not going to publish it.
I write five pages a day. If you would read five pages a day, we'd stay right even.
My older son who is, I think, here tonight, is forty-one years old. Which is odd because so am I.
I got thrown out of school several weeks in my senior year being caught in the girls' dorm. This was 1954, friends. The girls' dorm was off limits. Even to girls, I think.
College had little effect on me. I'd have been the same writer if I'd gone to MIT, except I'd have flunked out sooner.
