About This Quote

The last thing you find out when writing a book is what to put first. Sometimes it is easy to know what to put in the beginning of a book; however, when you come to the end of the book (or in any work of art), then you must decide what to put first. It can be easier said than done, but if you do your best to make your decision, then your creation will be better for it.
