You never know, of course, when you write a book what its fate will be. Sink out of sight, soar to the sun–who knows. I love this quote from Frances Mayes. It pretty much sums up the Great Unknown of book writing.
Frances Mayes, in her book "Under the Tuscan Sun," reflects on the unpredictable nature of writing and publishing. She acknowledges that authors cannot foresee how their works will perform, whether they will fade into obscurity or achieve remarkable success. This uncertainty is a fundamental aspect of the writing journey that many authors face.
The quote encapsulates the essence of creativity and the risks involved in sharing one’s stories. It highlights the inherent mystery of how a book will be received by readers and the literary world at large, reminding writers that while they pour their hearts into their work, its ultimate destiny remains uncertain.
