I want to enhance and add beauty to people’s lives. Because I cannot do that, I write instead.

I have a strong need to share my deepest and most intimate feelings in words that rhyme with “grape” and “cloud”.

I’m sure that I can post my writings on-line and make a fortune from the ad revenues. Did I mention that I’m also an idiot?

Every time I write, I expose a portion of my soul… the poorly-spelled, grammatically-baffling portion of my soul.

Writing helps me express my feelings in a way that certainly alienates people; however, it’s better than chasing them away with a baseball bat.

Writing improves my vocabulary. I usually learn, on average, a new word every day. I only wish those were English words.

I write to develop a following of people who admire me, love my work and will kill on my command.

When I go to a restaurant and tell them I’m a writer, I get a special table near the bathrooms and an insistence that I pay in advance.

Maybe what I write will be made into a move. I’ve always dreamed of writing the movie that Bruce Willis will die during the filming of.

I will spend my life trying to revolutionize absurdist theater even though I don’t know what something like that would look like.

  2. I love this! May I print it out? It is definitely fridge-worthy. Last night at a family gathering we were discussing home remodeling, massage therapy, building inspection, counseling juvenile criminals, working for the FBI – pretty much everything that everyone else was doing. No one asked how my writing was going, but now if anyone ever does, I’ve got some great answers. 😉
    PS Love the picture, too! Reminded me of myself, trying to write my first book when I was in first grade.

      1. Writers who believe in themselves write great tales, as compared to the writers who don’t fall for themselves and end up writing things that others understand.

      2. I look at writing as shaving off that part of my brain that deviates from the every day so that I can appear normal and so my hat fits…

      2. You mean the fifty worder? I think that could be expanded nicely into a longer work. In fact, I kind of expected a “to be continued…” at the end…

  7. I excitedly scroll through my WP feed each morning to see what laughs are in store for me with your posts 🙂 And the first one was my favorite and the bathroom one was my second
