Skye Demon wins for the week of 1/24 with:
“I write. I write that I am writing. Mentally I see myself writing that I am writing and I can also see myself seeing that I am writing. I remember writing and also seeing myself writing. And I see myself remembering that I see myself writing and I remember seeing myself remembering that I was writing and I write seeing myself write that I remember having seen myself write that I saw myself writing that I was writing and that I was writing that I was writing that I was writing. I can also imagine myself writing that I had already written that I would imagine myself writing that I had written that I was imagining myself writing that I see myself writing that I am writing.”
~Salvador Elizondo
Let the contest for the week of 1/31 begin! |

Nothing, not love, not greed, not passion or hatred, is stronger than a writer's need to change another writer's copy-

Give thy thoughts no tongue nor any unproportioned thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel; but do not dull thy palm with entertainment ff each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, bear't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, but not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; for the apparel oft proclaims the man. Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend. This above all: to thine ownself be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare
Polonius
Hamlet, I.iii |

kinda liked this...
There is only one trait that marks the writer. He is always watching. It's a trick of the mind, and he is born with it.

Writing is a lot like sex. At first you do it because you like it. Then you find yourself doing it for a few close friends and people you like. But if you're any good at all...you end up doing it for money.
