Author's Advice

Braude's Treasury of Wit and Humor
by Jacob M. Beaude @1964 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
is the source of this story:

Novelist Sinclair Lewis was to lecture a group of college students who planned literary careers. Lewis opened his talk by saying:
"How many of you really intend to be writers?"
All hands went up.
"In that case," said Lewis, returning his notes to his pocket, "my
advice to you is to go home and write."
With that he left the room.

Love it, and oh, so, true! Writers write, it's as simple as that.

Hope you are keeping well, Jim.
