“The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.”– Gustave Flaubert
I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t to forget make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can…. [From As I was saying ] The older I get, the more important this seems to be.

Of course, I have no idea how long to expose this out of date RC paper I have 500 sheets of, so I’m going to have to wait until I can get some paper chemistry before I have any idea how successful I was.

I have never heard of Blogrunner before now but they have heard of me. A lot of traffic to a recent post on the RIAA deciding fair use isn’t .
