the best thing about being a writer -- part LXX

it's not being boring.

it's contemplating what constitutes boredom.

and plowing that over with colorful words and ideas so challenging and
engaging and evoking of imagery that you cannot possibly imagine being
any more bored.

(or something like that).

it's being able to write yourself out of a paper bag.

with nothing more than your determination, a broken flashlight, and a
large map drawn on the inside of said paper bag.

I can't possibly imagine being any more bored. It must be due to your
challenging ideas.
