It's the birthday of Ernest Haycox, 1899, who said to become a successful writer. "First, one must break in to print somewhere, anywhere, with anything, and get money for it." Second, "consolidate in that field ... to such a point that your stories will be good enough to sell whenever written." and Third "to do something permanent, something at least bordering on the field of literature. The first two stages can be accomplished by sheer muscle and sweat. The third is an entirely different problem."
My Sweetheart and I love The Writers Almanac, and we are not writers. We read it with out fail to each other at the dinner table with empty plates and full stomachs. I recommend this. Retired people who live together don’t have a lot of new conversation to discuss, but The Writers Almanac is very interesting and spurs conversation.
