What is the aim or goal of your writing:
2nd ed. says, "I'd rather write one book that sold 10,000 copies than do one television show watched by 50 million viewers. As for other personal comments, I leave those pretty much to others--my own view of myself is admittedly full of prejudice, but I'm not as good nor as nice as the public relations people would have you believe, nor as bad nor incompetent as my detractors might think."
