It came across the way you wanted it to the first time. You're a much better wordsmith then you often give yourself credit for. Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes. Yes we do. Do we think you’re all made of money out there? Yes. Yes we do.

My point was not to say, "Hey, look how great I am!" I was trying to write about something larger than me. Most of us feel like underdogs at one time or another -- and I truly believe most of us are capable of grabbing moments of glory like the Bills did on Sunday. I posted this in hopes that all of you might remember this the next time you feel tempted to get down on yourselves -- something to which we can all fall prey.

Michealangelo's cleaning lady said "Yeah, HE clears away the extra bits. What the hell am I for?" You've got stories to tell. That's the biggest thing that gets most people out of writing, not having anything to say. You have things to say. You also have one or two people to do really nasty things to in your stories. Literary homicide is so much more satisfying and so less messy than the real thing. I remember in one of his forewords, PAD wrote that someone told him they didn't like his stuff because he was to fanny. He responded that he writes his stories for himself, and if other people like it, so much the better.

Quit the crack or eat ramen noodles for breakfast AND dinner. Seriously, Bill, I'm glad you feel better. What you're doing is, in my mind, a lot more difficult than say, making movies, where you have team of people to depend on. Yours is a one man operation. Of course, when it's done the rewards are all yours as well (well, you and your lovely significant other). Stop your whining. Quit the crack or eat ramen noodles for breakfast AND dinner.
