Make sure you read that article until the very last paragraph. It has a heart-warming ending. I awwww'ed. :)


Better still read the last paragraph first .... you may save yourself five minutes of reading.

I'm at a complete loss as to why this artice is on the front page - to say that I didn't learn much from it is an understatement of some magnitude.

Started reading, realized it wasn't worth my bacon, check the comments, found yours and read the only meaningful thing I could deduce from the article.


Yeah, it's nice, but it's also a total non sequitur. At the beginning of the piece he says his first book was a success and he wrote the follow-ups trying to recapture the good feelings -- apparently without success. Books take a lot of effort and may not make you any significant money. So I guess the real moral of his story is that -- if you're like him -- you shouldn't bother writing books if you're already in a good relationship.
