Boy, am I glad Stephen King didn't think about his chances before he started
writing (and getting rejected).

Danielle Steele ... well, that's another story ;^)

You know, if everyone takes the wonderful advice given here, there won't be
any need for any musicians in the future ... anyone who aspires to be one
will just give up since the chances of doing well at it are essentially nil.

While I'm all for "reality checks", I'm not for crushing dreams.
