one word at a time

[seaseepiepisces]

owat whenever i go to parties, people always come up to me and say 'id really like to be a writer' and smile sheepishly. i invariably respond 'i just write 1 word at a time' and it is invariably dismissed. but people think theres a hidden secret to good writing, but there isnt. just look at the great wall of china. how was it made? 1 brick at a time**. and i heard you could see that motherfucker from space without a telescope*. if they dont give up then, i reply with 'i wish i was a brain surgeon, just a cut there, a cut here' and that usually keeps them from not bothering me

* you cant see the great wall from space. it would be less than a 1/100th millimetre at that scale.

** it wasnt made with bricks at all. theyre actually rebuilding it nowadays in the oldskool ways. they compressed mud with poles. theres even "wall building" songs that workers sung.
