About This Quote
A man named Joe Green wanted to become a famous writer. He worked hard at his craft, and for a while it seemed like he had the talent and the passion to make it. After several years, he realized that he was not going to be a great writer. He felt like he had wasted his time and his talent.
Then one day he wrote a short story and it was brilliant. The next day, he wrote another short story and it was brilliant as well. He couldn’t believe what was happening to him.
One day, he wrote a book about his experiences as a young man living in a small town. It took him months to write this book, but when he finished, he knew it was the best work that any of his friends had ever read.
