Writer is a glamorous job.
You are your own person. You don’t punch a time clock.
You don’t do team-building exercises with
your co-workers. You don’t
male-bond. You aren’t a slave to
fashion. You don’t keep up with the
Joneses.
You live the life of the mind, unbought
and unbossed.
You march to your own drummer.
You go your own way.
You don’t care if anybody follows you or
not. That’s not the point. The point is being able to do it, to be the
master of your own fate.
You decide what you are going to do and
when you are going to do it. If you need
something, you figure out how to get it.
If you don’t need it, you do without.
You are pragmatic. Practical.
What looks like lunacy is really simple
common sense.
It don’t seem that crazy to me.
