ANECDOTE

Elliot Ackerman's Early Writing Journey

  • Elliot Ackerman initially kept his writing a secret, practicing for a couple of years without telling anyone.
  • He felt that announcing his intentions before having any tangible results would be like claiming to be a dancer without any actual dancing experience.
  • He wanted to avoid the potential embarrassment or disappointment of not living up to his own declaration.
