Amy Tan was a business writer before she turned to fiction. She was more in charge of account management while her partner wrote. She tried to persuade her partner to let her write but was not successful. Out of frustration, she quit.
It was tough in the beginning. She persevered with as much as 90 hours a week taking on as many assignments as a freelance technical writer. Working hard to prove her ex-partner wrong, she came up with million-copy sales of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife and The Hundred Secret Senses.
This is one of the six inspiring stories published in Reader's Digest Jan 2006.
