"The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between the lightning and the lightning-bug." ~ Mark TwainI would love to write something epic, poetic, and earth shattering tonight. Unfortunately, I have neither the energy, nor the way with words. I used to think I was a decent writer. In high school I could write an essay the in the period before it was due and still receive an A. In college my essay grades weren't quite as spectacular, but I assumed it was because I either wrote it with a hangover or that the person who graded it carried some sort of personal vendetta against me. (There seemed to be a lot of self-righteous professors aides at my school.) Never did it cross my mind that it could be just plain bad. Crazy thought, I know. Either way, I have decided that I will most likely never write the great American novel.
Just putting that out there.
