Did you ever get fed up?' I said. 'I mean did you ever get scared that everything was going to go lousy unless you did something? - J. D. Salinger

I like it when somebody gets excited about something. It's nice.

I love you to pieces, distraction, etc.

If only you’d remember before ever you sit down to write that you’ve been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart’s choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. I won’t even underline that. It’s too important to be underlined.
