Then, when your very soul becomes bound up in book upon the shelf and some person sets aside the book in their hand to read your book, you then become more than a mere writer—you become an author. Indeed, depending on whether the book in your head is in fact better than the book in your hand, and especially if the book in your hand was pretty good to start with… you are more even than a mere author—you become somehow immortal. This quest for immortality is not achieved by more than a few. It kills far more than it crowns. But it must begin with the realization that the book in your head must be become a book in someone else’s hand.]
