Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.
- Norman Maclean

December 23, 1902: Norman Maclean did not begin writing fiction until he retired from his work as a professor at the University of Chicago—he published his first novel, A River Runs Through It, at age 73.

Never. I enjoy reading about the foolhardy stunts that others do to earn their own Darwin Awards far too much to do one myself. And they are very educational as well. I don't have to try one to know things will turn out badly if I do. Some of them are so off the wall. I mean who but an idiot would try to weld a hand grenade to a piece of chain for example.

Beat him by six years. Mind you he probably got an agent to do it for him and a proper publisher, but mine was self-published via CreateSpace. Otherwise I've got three years left.

How about you, Kenny?

No novel yet, a couple of books of poetry and book of science essays and a memoir.... Novel is on the TBD list. but may have a short story collection first....

He also said that a certain belief was dead and would be forgotten in 100 yrs. Now days a publishing house that prints books relating to that belief has its headquarters in Voltaire's old house.

I swear I read a post in a forum someplace, (not here) where the person said they didn't enjoy reading, but they'd really like to write a novel. So tell me, could Mr. King have gotten it wrong?

Yep, I've heard it in writing forums, groups, workshops etc since I've been writing....several decades.

I've never understood that mentality....probably never will.

And the chances are that neither will you ever read a novel written by someone who doesn't like to read. (I had to re-read this sentence three times to see if it made sense... Maybe I should be a novelist. I've still got a few years.)
