But does this one even count?  Does anyone read this one anymore?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The Old Man: age 53&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;so like if you write an iconic novel right now and it gets published when you're 27, you will write a large novel in your forties that will be popular for several decades but no one will read anymore&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;and then when you're in your 50s you will write another one &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;which is depressing&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;to think that a writer on average writes one novel in their early life that is really good&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;which implies they are reflecting upon the first 25 years of their life to write the book&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;then they have to live 25 more years and then reflect upon those 25 years to write another&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;so the math is, to write an iconic novel you have to be able to summon up the last 25 years of life and put it into a novel&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;another example&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Yates was 36 when Rev Road came out&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Then Easter Parade came out 15 years later&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;the math is not perfect&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;being a writer is a weird job&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;a carpenter can make a wonderful looking kitchen once a week&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;a machine can produce a thousand coffee cups that say Disney Land on them an hour&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A writer had to write like 20 books to get two to come out right&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'm saying 20 even though most only get 8 to 10 published, because a writer usually writes more books or at least starts some that never get shown to anyone.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml'
