Author and renowned curmudgeon VS Naipaul is one of the most prolific writers around. But it wasn't a sure thing. Early in his career, Naipaul was looking at other options. He tells the Scotsman:"I would have liked to work for a big company in India. I did apply, but didn't get it. To get those jobs you had to be well-connected locally. It was a giant corporation. They made matches."
So he kept on writing, and the fire-making industry's loss is literature's gain.--David E
