"I've had aunts and uncles who not only haven't read my books but could hardly believe that I was a writer"

This quote by Robert Cormier talks to the problem of being an author as well as having family members that do not understand or sustain your job. It's a tip that not everybody will certainly understand or appreciate your job, also if they are family. It's a tip that it's vital to remain true to on your own as well as your job, also if it's not accepted by everybody. It's also a reminder that it's okay to be proud of your work and to celebrate your successes, even if some people do not understand or value them. It's a suggestion that it's alright to be various and also to seek your desires, also if it's declined by everybody.
