Man, I think I'd want my first book to be a blockbuster commercial, and my second to be a lit classic.

I guess I want my name to be associated with quality. And I'd like to be associated with great writers. <BR/><BR/>I need money to live.

I wish I could afford to stay home and work exclusively on writing and painting but I can't. <BR/><BR/>Still, if I had to choose one, I'd prefer my work to be a literary classic (hah). <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, Happy New Year! I wish you a healthy and happy one that brings you publication success.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321805301687762360noreply@blogger.com
