Excerpt from Practical Authorship
Thorough preparation for literary work is most desirable; but how few, in determining to enter upon a literary career, give to this any thought or attention. The young man or woman just out of school, the woman of fashion, the weary housewife, the professional man or the man of business, may conclude that he or she possesses undeveloped literary talent, and forthwith prepares to enter the arena. We say "prepares," but rather the entry into the arena is without preparation of any sort. The tyro does not understand why he is not as competent to write for editors and for the public as Jones, who appears to be successful in that line, whom he knows well and is very certain is no smarter than himself. That point of view may be correct, but he overlooks the fact that Jones has served an apprenticeship of many years. The beginner should ask himself if he is willing to do the same, and if not, would better resign his literary ambitions at once.
When the time arrives that men and women who wish to become writers will look upon the idea exactly as they would upon that of becoming a blacksmith, or an artist, or an opera singer, there will be fewer incompetents knocking at editorial doors. When they realize that training is all-important, that success is to be expected only after this training, and as the result of concentrated effort and experience; that any other success is phenomenal and unusual; and that this course pursued with great patience, allied to some amount of inherent aptitude and ability will bring a measure of success, then writing will be a less sad business all around.
