AUTHOR!  AUTHOR!

 

The audience were excited.
 
They were to hear from 3 authors on
a Sunday – in a community college auditorium.
 
The first author – a 70 year old
woman – said it took her 40 years
to write her book – and even then -
she was filled with hesitations.
 
The second author – a younger
woman said it took her – 7 weeks –
to write her book – now a best seller.
 
The third author – a middle aged guy
in a flannel shirt – said it took him –
5 years to write his book.
 
They read excerpts from their book.
They did a Q. and A. on their book.
They signed copies of their book.
They told the audience what they had
in mind for their next book.
 
Then the audience went home – and
surprise most reread two of those books –
but now from a very different perspective.
