The late Hunter...

I do like to take a book into the bathroom with me. Today, I reached out en route and found Hunter S Thompson's Kingdom of Fear finding its way into my hands. I randomly turned to a page - page 46 as it happens - and read this...

"Well, wanting to [write] and having to are two different things. Originally I hadn't thought about writing as a solution to my problems...It was writing. It was the rock in my sock. Easier than algebra. It was always work, but it was worthwhile work. I was fascinated early on by seeing my byline in print. It was a rush. Still is."
