Frequently in replies to articles about writing I hear a grumble from users, who are in their 50th or older: "Life experience is the most important thing in books. If you have experience, then your book will be good a priori. At first you must live the life through, and only after that you can write truly well". There is an eternal dispute of what goes first - hen or egg, or, to be exact, whether quality of text can atone the absence of experience and vice versa.Saturday, 11 July 2015
