"Looking back at the handwritten manuscript, there was some promise in the book. Sure, it had some big flaws as well and it was in many ways quite a generic high fantasy. But I think if I had finished it, it would have had a reasonable chance of being published. If it had, my career as a novelist would have started when I was 21 or so, rather than 26. Possibly that doesn’t matter, of course. But there is an important lesson for would-be writers. As I said in the previous paragraph, I think that it would have had a reasonable chance of being published if I’d finished it. But I didn’t finish it, so that reasonable chance became a big zero. If you finish it, anything can happen. You have created a possibility where one didn’t exist before."
