Random quote of the day:


"My vocabulary dwells deep in my mind and needs paper to wriggle out into the physical zone. Spontaneous eloquence seems to me a miracle. I have rewritten—often several times—every word I have ever written. My pencils outlast their erasers."

—Vladimir Nabokov, Strong Opinions

Ah, if Nabokov--a man whose craft I greatly admire--said that, then I don't feel so bad that the first words out are the brilliant shiny things I wish they were.

If they did, I might have to shoot them. ;-) Just kidding. Naturally. Kind of.
