When did you decide that you wanted to become an author and what did it feel like to be loved by so many in your works?
Richard Bach
An easy decision -- I couldn't hold any job for more than eight months. At last, in desperation, I wrote a lot of stories, and sold a few.
Then I realized that a chapter in a book is about as long as one story. So I wrote chapters, which became books. After five rejections or so, they were published! It took perhaps thirty years before I could call myself a "writer" without laughing.

Hello, is it ok to take a screenshot of your answer for the readers of my blog to see? I started few days ago my author platform and Im trying to explain to new writers like me that If they show trust on universe and they "channel" their book they won't get authorsblock anymore. Ppl dont believe they can channel their book, I believe everyone can do it. I think your answer will help ppl believe they can do it too!

I have never read your books. But during a farewell speech I heard a quote from you. I was deeply touched - "Can miles truly separate you from friends? If you want to be with someone you love ... aren't you already there?". It is my humble request, please tell me which book of yours do I read first?
