Aldous Huxley, novelist (1894-1963):

I met, not long ago, a young man who aspired to become a novelist. Knowing that I was in the profession, he asked me to tell him how he should set to work to realize his ambition. I did my best to explain. ‘The first thing,’ I said, ‘is to buy quite a lot of paper, a bottle of ink, and a pen. After that you merely have to write.’

From today’s AWAD.

    Actually, that’s pretty good advice. I can’t recall what autor said it, but they answered the question of “How do I become a better writer?” in a very similar way.

    The answer was, “Well, you just write!”

    I don’t think that is the answer to “How do I become a famous author?” It’s a little more complicated than that, I assume.
