Need a reason to write? ... [quote]

Write to write. Write because you need to write. Write to settle the rage within you. Write with an internal purpose. Write about something or someone that means so much to you, that you don’t care what others think.

Thank you letter from an old lady ... joke

This is another email funny that goes around every now and again.

I wish I knew the author so I can look up their other work.

Makes me laugh every time ...

Thank you letter from an old lady:

Dear School,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent senior citizens luncheon.

I am 84 years old and live at a home for the Aged.

All of my family has passed away.

I am all alone now and it's nice to know that someone is thinking of me.

God bless you for your kindness to an old forgotten lady.

My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio, but before I received one, she would never let me listen to hers, even when she was napping.

The other day her radio fell off the night stand and broke into a lot of pieces.

It was awful and she was in tears.

Her distress over the broken radio touched me and I knew this was God's way of answering my prayers.

She asked if she could listen to mine.

I told her to fuck off.

Edna.

Gradual journey to success for writers ... [quote]

Success comes to a writer, as a rule, so gradually that it is always something of a shock to him to look back and realize the heights to which he has climbed.

How a great book should make you feel ... [quote]

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.
