I don’t pretend this will be read like Robert Fulghum’s little book: “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.”
For one thing, that title was already taken.
Now over 30 years old, the book has sold over 7M copies.
A book title can be important.
I read a review once of the 1992 book: “Women Who Run with the Wolves,” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
One of the things the reviewer pointed out (only an opinion, of course) was one of the reasons the book did so well commercially (it was on the NY TIMES bestseller list for 145 weeks and sold 2M copies) was because of its killer title.
I don’t know if that is true, but it may have been.
Compared to both of those titles, mine is rather mundane and pedestrian.
But it is true.
And that is important.
Ernest Hemingway, American writer and Nobel laureate for literature (1954) said this, about writing:
Write one true sentence.
Make it as true as possible.
Then follow it with another true sentence.
And so on.
One could hardly get better advice on writing.
