I gave up writing a book long before I started writing a book. It was going to be a good book, with dragons and lasers and everything.

That's a pity - it sounds original!

"American author Ng..."
That's interesting, I don't recall a single Ng in my American class growing up. We had a single N(I)g for a day in seventh grade but he disappeared after one day. I still don't know any Ng Americans.

Dude, maybe you didn't go to an Ivy League school? Just sayin'.

My manuscript is written. It’s finding a white editor that is the problem.
