Publish or Perish!

(Originally in English)

Two friends were talking together, and one asked
the other, "What have you been doing lately?"
And the other friend said, "Since last year
I've taken up writing full time." So the first friend said,
"Oh, really, writing full time? Have you sold anything so far?"
And the other friend said,
"Yes. I've sold my car and I've sold my house."

「畅销」作家

两个朋友聚在一起闲聊，其中一个问道：

「你最近都在做些什么？」另一个回答：

「从去年开始，我就专职写作。」第一个又问：

「喔！专职写作，真的吗？那到目前为止，你卖了多少呢？」

另一个回答：「有啊！我卖了车子，房子也卖了！」
