Nothing wrong with that (after all, most of us have already written the first book), but it's an interesting dose of "business reality". I was reminded of when I was a painting student back in university. One day our painting professor invited the class to lunch. We had a wonderful chat. She said how much she enjoyed spending time with students because we loved to talk about art, while every time she went out with her art teaching colleagues, all they talked about was money. What goes around, I suppose...
