There are two downright silly presumptions run ragged with peripatetic abandon masquerading as fact.  The first one says that ANYONE can write a book.  The second one says that the whole world is waiting for YOU to write a book about your unique life experiences. The price for this priceless information is usually under $500 -- thank goodness

Tale Wins does not subscribe to either of these presumptions.  The truth, according to Tale Wins, is that writing is hard work even for the truly gifted, like Nero Wolfe and Rudyard Kipling; getting published is a thousand times harder.  For every success there are dozens of other examples that cried themselves to sleep every night for forty years because they could not get anything published. 

Today it is easier than ever to publish your own work.  Yes, but there is no guarantee that even your next door neighbor can be forced to read your book.  However, if Random House isn't ranting radical raves over your latest submission then maybe you can offer to run off rustic bulletins for your local Rabbi.
