I Couldn't Get You To The Ocean,

You Shine Like A Beacon In A Dark World.

Writing, And Especially Writing A Novel, Where You Get To Sit In A Room By Yourself With Either A Pen And A Paper Or A Computer For A Couple Of Years, Is A Very Solitary Occupation. You Can Read Sales Figures - A Hundred Thousand Books Sold, Half A Million Books Sold - But They Are Just Numbers.

Be Wise, Because The World Needs More Wisdom. And If You Cannot Be Wise, Pretend To Be Someone Who Is Wise, And Then Just Behave Like They Would.

They Could Not Truly Look Dead, Because They Did Not Ever Look Alive.

You're Sick. Sick And Evil And Weird.
