No skill or talent is at your depose. All it is , is letters in rows. A stranger to imaginations true art. You cannot write when you have no heart. Talent is not learned or earned. And when it comes to you it is not concerned. They remembered his head. No words of worth read. Nothing noone had ever said. I&#8217...

Monday, 9 December 2013. The hypocrisy of the long-distance procrastinator. And how very flattering to be asked at all, regardless of the cause. What, me?
