LUCKY YOU

Отрывок из книги

It took me three years to complete this novel and then I sent it to a number of publishers. I did not receive an offer from a publisher to publish my manuscript, that is, if you discount two overseas offers to engage in a contribution based agreement, what some would call vanity publishing. I declined the offers. So what you hold in your hand is a self published book. There could be more than one reason why no one is interested in publishing LUCKY YOU but the most obvious reason could be that it is not good enough

In this situation one has a choice. You can find some other pastime to help fill your day or you can try again and tell yourself it will happen next time or that you write not because you are a gifted writer or even that you are good at it, but because you get enjoyment from writing. And for me there is a lot of truth in that.

I suppose that was a bit of a discovery, especially way back then.

What does that mean?
