| Many a young person tells me he wants
to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but also explain that there’s a
big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these
individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a
typewriter. "You’ve got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a

affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose
longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard

typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
