That took Margaret Mitchell some 10 years to write and then before she could write anything else, tragically she was hit by a car. Any other examples? Not of writers dying tragically; I'm uncomfortable with that subject.Gail Renardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09388455755408650770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249939222074893010.post-28182729980983412052008-08-01T19:26:00.000+01:002008-08-01T19:26:00.000+01:00What you see is the triumph of persistence over ta...What you see is the triumph of persistence over talent.

Now let's get down to basics:<BR/><BR/>You're far too talented, prolific and successful. I like to think I work hard but every time I turn around you've got a new book/ novella/ British telly series/ American TV series/ show on ice coming out. Do you work round the clock or have you put on extra men?<BR/>I was going to have a word with the Monopolies Commission about you but, by definition, they're a monopoly too.
