“Listen closely. Theres a remote possibility that you might learn something: First, I dont give a damn if my work is commercial or notIm the writer. If what I write is good, then people will read it. Thats why literature exists. An author puts his heart and guts on the page. For your information, a good novel can change the world. Keep that in mind before you attempt to sit down at a typewriter. Never waste time on something you dont believe in yourself.”
