I asked him whether or not he was ever going to get the first manuscript that he ever wrote (from his hospital bed) published. I was looking for maybe a sentance or something like that in answer.. Aparently not.

His answer was this something like this "No, I'm a better writer than that" I thought it would end there. It didn't. He went on to say that he had provisions in his will to burn it and scatter the ashes into his grave. He also said that he hates those writers who look back at their old rejected manuscripts to see what the next thing that they publish will be. No wonder why his books are so friggin long.
