Famous writer Larry McMurtry wrote ten books before any one of them sold over five thousand copies?!

I am thankful he didn’t quit writing.

Let’s you and I not quit either (whatever it is you are doing).

Be encouraged.

Remember: All things have small beginnings.

Lonesome Dove was my tenth novel, eleventh book. I had been publishing books from the early Sixties to the mid-Eighties before producing a book that came close to selling five thousand copies, a feat nearly achieved by All My Friends, which came out just in time to profit from the flare of interest produced by the popularity of Picture Show.
