Rumors

I heard a rumor a while back that disturbed me. Someone told me that big authors like Nora Roberts don't have to write anymore. They simply come up with an outline for a story and someone else writes it.

I guess I don't believe that rumor. I can't think of anything worse than having someone else write my story idea. After writing hundreds of books I think I'd still feel the same way.

If it was true, why be a writer?

Writers that are disciplined and write two or three books a year, or more, have always impressed and inspired me.

So I don't believe it. These men and women are dedicated, disciplined, and have mastered their craft.
