It Could Happen

Whoever you are
Be with all your heart
Not piece by piece
Not part by part.

I was recently asked what it takes to become a writer. Three things, I answered: first, one must cultivate incompetence at almost every other form of profitable work. This must be accompanied, second, by a haughty contempt for all the forms of work that one has established one cannot do. To these two must be joined, third, the nuttiness to believe that other people can be made to care about your opinions and views and be charmed by the way you state them. Incompetence, contempt, lunacy; once you have these in place, you are set to go.

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.

Nearly a year since I created this blog. So many changes. I think I'm ready to keep this up to date. I'm not sure what I'll write about. Losing 80 lbs. Getting a new direction in life. Just quotes that strike my fancy.
