"Novelists have, on the average, about the same IQs as the cosmetic consultants at Bloomingdale's department store. Our power is patience. We have discovered that writing allows even a stupid person to seem halfway intelligent, if only that person will write the same thought over and over again, improving it just a little bit each time. It is a lot like inflating a blimp with a bicycle pump. Anybody can do it. All it takes is time." - Kurt Vonnegut

No. My friend [livejournal.com profile] golden_lotus is trying to make it as a writer (in the US) and it's not easy.

Hmm, one of my friend's had a very well reviewed fantasy trilogy published, which is pretty much as good as you can expect, and he still can't give up his full-time job.
