April 24—Unexplored Desire No Great American Novel

April 24—Unexplored Desire -No Great American Novel for Me!

As one gets older
One often looks back
At all the things you did
In your life.

The good, the bad, and the ugly
And we all have those moments
Because we are human.

And some things you desired
But never pursued.

For me, it was a dream
Of becoming a famous writer
While I can write poems
And short stories,

My greatest desire
Was to write
The Great American Novel.

And sadly, it will remain
An unfulfilled desire
As I don’t have the patience or energy.

To edit my six rough draft novels
Turning them into something publishable
And they may die when I die.

And I am in good company.

The rule of ten rule applies
Of one hundred people
Who want to write a novel
Less than ten percent finish it
Of those less than ten percent publish it
Of those less than ten percent make any money
Of those less than ten percent make a living
At writing their novels.
