“Most people's first books are their best anyway; it's the one they wanted most to write.”
Taken from Josephine
Tey's novel The Daughter of Time,
this quote caught my eyes when I read it. It's not even the point of
the story. In fact, it has nothing to do with the (brilliant, by the
way) story. But I think it has some truth in it.
Well,
not for all people, of course. Some people become a greater writer
after a while. Ass Shakespeare says, 'custom lends us a kind of
easiness'. But the first book is like the first born child. It's new
experience. People put everything they have in that one first book.
That's
the quote I want to share with you this weekend. I'm supposed to make
it yesterday, but I think it's still weekend anyway. And if you
haven't read Daughter of Time,
I hugely recommend it to you. Will write a review in a couple of
days. Meanwhile, have a nice weekend.
