• There's nothing to stop a man from writing unless that man stops himself. If a man truly desires to write, then he will. Rejection and ridicule will only strengthen him. And the longer he is held back the stronger he will become, like a mass of rising water against a dam.

You will die a fighter, you will be honored in hell. The luck of the word. Go with it, send it.
