Books: the best home decor
Writers love to tell their students that they should focus on writing rather than publishing, that publication brings neither happiness nor fame, never mind money or security, blah blah blah, and all of that is true. But let's be candid: It is very nice to have something published. I am lucky to have a few of my writings out in the world. It's always a thrill and an honor whenever someone reads my work.
