Bread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored.

A lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this career of mine.

Becoming a writer is not a ‚career decision‘ like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don’t choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you’re not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days.
