Random quote of the day:
“Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about.  It is this genuine caring, and not your games with language that will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.”

—Kurt Vonnegut, “How to Write With Style,” International Paper Co. “Power of the Printed Word” series, 1980
