What's a Wannabe to do?

So, look here: I've been "writing" a book for about 15 years now. Ouch! It makes me cringe just to think it's been that long--. Thank goodness it's a classic story...I was watching some author on the Today Show, the other day, say that a person must write 1 page per day, to achieve success. If he/she's serious about wanting to get published....I also have posted on my desk at home: A writer is someone who has written today...So, I'm not a writer yet...but I will be! The day's still young, N'est pas?
