For all writers

One wonders, at times, where the truth lies for the successful writer. Is it in the money, or is it in the sheer joy of writing?
For most writers, the journey towards a given truth is a torturous path. For others, the needed common phrases trip off the tongue and a novel is born.
Yes,there are genre writers. These writers are content not to produce a significant literary work, but to continue to reel out novels that sell in a particular genre. Some of them, very successful, have stooped to repeating a large section of a former novel to fill up their latest work.
The public does not complain. Truth has no value here.
As a writer, I ask you where is your truth?
Yes, in these difficult days for writers, you may never find a standard publisher. But I urge you to stay true to your vision.
Be well,
Roger W. Harrington
