"I worked in the Hallmark public relations department for a man named Conrad Knickerbocker, the public relations manager, who had already begun publishing book reviews and fiction. After I got to know Knick a little, I asked him timidly how you become a writer. . . . He said, "Rhodes, you apply ass to chair." I call that solid gold advice the Knickerbocker Rule."
