Thanks, I was hoping it would flatter him without being too direct and also give him some sort of peace with how he spent his life, and that he has planted trees that he will never taste the fruits of. I feel like writing and other creative arts are viewed as vanity and underappreciated in our society and so many are discouraged along the way, when infact it does so much to shape people.

I got the impression that he knew he was done and now just enjoying his remaining time, and I think every writer sort of knows when they no longer can continue writing, either running out of things to say or because their hardware just isn't what it used to be.

I tried to imagine the type of letter I would want if I was an established writer and what I hoped my work and effort would achieve beyond just writing good shit, and tried to convey just that. I hope I can become the Cormac McCarthy to someone else out there someday, that's what really matters. I would want my work to inspire people to become great themselves and produce their own fruit.
