I started writing ten years ago. I wrote for a solid year and collected nothing but rejection
slips.

Most beginning writers can't afford to do that. They take an honest job and write in their spare
time, and it takes them five years to make their mistakes, instead of one. Me, I lived off a trust fund.

The trust fund was there because my great-grandfather once made a lot of money in oil. He
left behind him a large family of nice people, and we all owe him.
