A writer never forgets the first time that accepts coins or a compliment in return for a story. Never forget the first time you feel the sweet poison of vanity in the blood and think that if you get find no lack of talent , the dream of literature will be able to put a roof over his head, a hot plate at the end of the day and wants most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that will surely outlive him.
A writer is condemned to remember that moment, because by then and is lost and his soul is priceless.
