To all my fellow aspiring writers

[annathepiper]

Remember Harry Bernstein whenever you despair of your chances of seeing print. After decades of trying, writing over twenty novels, he's finally written a live one that's seeing success...

At age 93.

I have to admire that old dude for hanging in there and having the fortitude to keep at it. I think I shall make him my new writing hero. If I hang in there half that long, I shall count myself proud.

SNIIIIIIIIIIF! That's a good story. SNIIIIIIIF!

Isn't it just? I mean, damn. Ninety-three years old. I hope I'm still whipping out novels when I'm 93!

Me too! Although I hope you get published before then... :)

I think possibly my favorite bit is that they signed him for a sequel. Now that's optimism. :)

Well yeah, I'd like to hope that while I could probably whip out a twelve-book series detailing all the epic adventures that take place in the world of The Dove, the Rook, and the Hawk by the time I'm 93, it'd be nice to be doing it for pay. ;)

And yay, sequel!
