-I write, not because I want to make supposed big bucks, but because it is something I wholly enjoy doing. Although I may never be published and have a . . . speaking career that will lead to nowhere, I feel that writing is what I want to do with my life. I write not because I feel lonely, but it is because I want my ideas to be shown to the public, even if twenty years from now you still never have heard of my name. Now, I know you have your opinions and beliefs, and I do as well. But if you didn't believe novels should be written, you didn't have to tell an aspiring novelist just that. There was really no point in doing so . . . I guess my work here is done.
