To Fellow Writers

To all you writers out there:
This is your conscience speaking … I MUST WRITE … I’M A BADASS WRITER ... I MUST WRITE … I MUST WRITE … I’VE GOT SERIOUS TALENT AND WON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS BULLSHIT JOB FOR LONG … I MUST WRITE … I MUST GO FOR IT … MY VOICE IS UNIQUE … LIFE IS SHORT … I MUST GO FOR IT …

This was an email I received just moments ago from my friend's boyfriend. Best email my work account has ever received. So here's to remembering what our conscience is yelling all in Caps as it were, and that we do have an audience out there somewhere....

About Me

"This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? ... And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple "I must," then build your life in accordance with this necessity;... Then come close to Nature." -Ranier Maria Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet
