When You're At The Top, There's Only

Any Writer Worth His Salt Writes To Please Himself.

You See They Could Never, Never Understand That I Live Like I Do Because That's The Way I Want To Live.

You Can Choose Your Friends But You Sho' Can't Choose Your Family, An' They're Still Kin To You No Matter Whether You Acknowledge 'em Or Not, And It Makes You Look Right Silly When You Don't.

You Know, Many Writers Really Don't Like To Write. I Think This The Chief Complaint Of So Many. They Hate To Write; They Do It Under The Compulsion That Makes Any Artist The Victim He Is, But They Loathe The Process Of Sitting Down Trying To Turn Thoughts Into Reasonable Sentences.

I Would Advise Anyone Who Aspires To A Writing Career That Before Developing His Talent He Would Be Wise To Develop A Thick Hide.
