Author Joe Konrath talks about the advice he gave to an aspiriing writer…and what happened next. It’s an inspiring story, not just for writers trying to break in, but for everyone who writes books. I wish more aspiring writers would find motivation from stories like this than from the get-rich-quick/get-published-quick come-on of self-publishing.
Since I don’t have a blogger account and I suspect JA will read this, lemme say: Great story. Thanks for posting it.
This would have been an even more inspiring story if the student had written the book and stayed in school.
School schmool….. that’s a great story and makes me want to start hitting the typewriter keys. I’ve done my five pages today but I think I’ll go do five more. –B–
