I should have let them sell the movie rights. I mean, integrity is nice and all. But I thought I had many books ahead of me, I thought that was enough, would be enough, meant something somehow. How could I have failed to notice that movies were what cemented books into immortality? That since the beginnings of the film industry, it was the only true way for writers to make money?
Sad but so true in America that books are judged based on whether or not they are made into blockbuster films.
