If you want to write, write it. That's the first rule. And send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. Don't send it to me. Don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. They're not going to publish it.

  • -- Robert B. Parker 罗伯特·B·派克

如果你想写,就写吧。这是第一条规则。把它寄给,寄给那些能够发表它的人。别寄给我。不要把它展示给你的配偶,或你的另一半,或你的父母,或其他人。他们不会出版的。
