Hello, world. Recently I sat down to chat with Mr. Anonymous. He's the guy you didn't notice on the street yesterday. Here's what he had to say about writing.
Greg: So, Mr. Anonymous, aren't you the one who said, "Look before you leap?""
Mr. Anonymous: No, that was my friend Bob.
Greg: "If at first you don't succeed?..."
Mr. Anonymous: My cousin Ralf.
Greg: How about a word or two about writing.
Mr. Anonymous: Easy reading is damned hard writing.
Greg: I know what you mean. I write mostly for the 7-10 crowd, and it ain't easy. My first book was 48 pages of text.
Mr. Anonymous: Not to worry. You know what they say...inside every fat book is a thin book trying to get out.
Greg: Ah, well said. They don't call you Mr. Anonymous for nothing.
Mr. Anonymous: And besides, If you think that something small cannot make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room.
Greg: Yes, I hate when that happens. But moving on...now, that I've finished the eighth Melvin Beederman book, I'm looking for my next project. Any recommendations?
Mr. Anonymouse: If you wait for inspiration, you're not a writer, but a waiter.
