There are very real differences between “being a ‘young writer’ and an ‘older writer’ and even an ‘old writer’. My conclusion is that old writers have the greatest advantage in that they can offend people at will without consideration to consequences. After all, it’s not like they’re in this business for a long career.” And younger writers? they have an advantage “because if there is one thing publishing takes to be successful it is TIME, usually just a bit more than you’re willing to give.”
