BECAUSE ALL YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IS LIFE."

The wine industry loves to talk about aging and collecting wine because drinking a really old wine has a romantic allure. An old wine gives us a way to re-experience a year that was special in our memory, maybe the year of our birth or anniversary, or drink a wine that comes from a time we may never even have lived.
On top of this, when a wine that was meant to be aged is drunk, the aging of the wine helps create flavors and textures we would never have experienced had the wine not undergone aging. Only 1% of all the wine produced is meant to be aged. A well-cared-for cast iron skillet will stay with you longer than a life partner—and if you use it properly, it will only get better with age and time. A newly-purchased cast iron skillet, even if it's pre-seasoned, isn't going to have great nonstick qualities. Cook with it frequently, and with some patience, you'll begin to see better nonstick results. What does a writer have in common with wine and a cast iron skillet? Everything! Let me make my case. Over time, the aging of the writer helps create flavors and textures in his stories he would not have experienced had the writer not undergone aging. The patience it takes to grow and mature as a writer takes years, sometimes decades. Less than 1% of all books written ever get published! Don't be afraid with that statistic. You see, the true reality is nothing good happens overnight and the results for one's patience will be amazing. #patience,#writing,#wine,#writer,#writeyourbook,#storyteller |
