I try to write every day. Sometimes the things come out well, and sometimes they don't. When they come out well you think, Wow, I must be really great; and when they come out poorly, you think you must be terrible, but the truth is that's how any process works.
Why have a pet hate? Why should it be confined? My hate is both wide ranging and total.
I'm just terrible. At talking. With words.
