If you don't compromise your gift, if you write each day as well as you can, and then submit your work and not worry about it and go on to the next piece, you suddenly find oddly enough that you're no more interested in the applause than the silence.

"It's all a buncha bullshit! But it's SMART bullshit! It'll lay low so you think that maybe it's NOT all bullshit! Then when it's suckered you in, it makes you understand that it's more bullshit than you could ever imagine!" My Dad, on politics.
"I'd rather look back on the past than forward to the future. The past is more reliable." - Thom Ford
Speaking of cats..... An easy way to multitask and wash cat at the same time. 1. Pour a small amount of pet shampoo into toilet. 2. Toss cat into toilet and quickly close lid. 3. Flush 3 to 4 times. 4. Open lid. Your toilet will sparkle and your cat will be clean!
