A literary agent on why your good story isn’t likely to be a bestseller.

Has anyone ever said you should write a book? Maybe extraordinary things have happened to you, and they say you should write a memoir. Or you have an extremely vivid imagination, and they say you should write a novel. Maybe your kids are endlessly entertained at bedtime, and they say you should write a children’s book. Perhaps you just know how everything should be and imagine your essay collection will set the world straight.

Everyone has a book in them, right?

I hate to break it to you but everyone does not, in fact, have a book in them.

I dont agree with this. Everyone HAS got a book in them. May not be able to get the book published. I wrote two over eleven years. Not good enough for publication. Still wrote both. Go for it.

Climb the mountain for yourself. Not for fame.

As fire melted the ice, you melted my heart. As fire burns, I was burnt. Scorched, broken down, I fell apart. The past is lived, the lesson learnt. I wont dwell in my pain. I will remember, for I cannot forget. your words, always soaked with disdain. I should have known loving you was Russian roulette. I will come out on top. I will love once more. My passion is nonstop. my sanity will restore.
