- Tolkien, Hemingway, Lewis, Twain, Foer, Palahniuk, McCarthy, Conroy, Joyce, O'Connor, Whitman
- Favorite Books:
- An absurd question, bordering on indecency. A writer's tastes are constantly morphing and reanimating themselves, are they not?
- Favorite Quotes:
- "Words are the only thing that last forever" -Winston Churchill
- Are You Published?:
- No
Many people didn't know that Churchill was as great a writer as he was political leader. Over the course of his entire writing career he is estimated to have produced and published over 10 million words. It was always a passion for him, not simply a way to climb the political ladder, but an expressive outlet where he could cut his teeth. It is no wonder he is known as perhaps the greatest orator ever produced by the United Kingdom.
He once said: "Words are the only thing that last forever."
So, in accordance with Mr. Churchill's simple wise words, I have decided that my modus operandi is to be to immortalize what little there is to myself in words. Perhaps then I can turn molehills into mountains, and turn my pathetic, petty, and existential existence into one of a more kingly genre, respectively.
What are we if we aren't writers? I suppose we're merely dead skeletons, in the long run.Interact
