I never planned on doing a book about Paul Farmer or his organization. I met him in Haiti when I was on a magazine assignment. It's almost like his story sort of fell in my lap.
From Tracy Kidder
When I select a topic, it's usually a commitment of two to three years of my life.
Being a professional writer is not an easy way to make a living.
I tell beginning readers to read a lot and write a lot. If you want to write a book, find a subject that's really worth the time and effort you'll put in.
