During low periods, some aspiring authors find solace in knowing that they share their day of birth with a respected writer. Maybe there is some astrological algorithm … maybe not. Out of curiosity, do you also share a birth date with an author you enjoy?
I was born, as well as Oscar Wilde and Eugene O’Neil, on October 16.
