Stephen Hawking, Stephen King, and George Carlin. The masters of their crafts! And I would be too scared to talk to any of them, so I'd just sit in a corner and eavesdrop.
Oh, I wish I didn't. Gracious. I've yet to have a bad one, though I know it's coming, but I still get all worked up over them. Personality flaw, I guess.
Tons and tons of reads! Getting the book read is the most important thing for me. Enjoyment of the work is a second, but it only lost by a nose. Recognition it a distant tertiary factor. Money would be nice, but I think anybody can say that about anything. Using money to gauge literary success is a great way to disappoint yourself. Do it for the sake of doing it.
