Why Do You Write?

Went to see former Pulitzer-Prize winning play "Glengarry Glen Ross" over the weekend at the New Hazlett Theater (or theatre?) and afterwards wondered to myself loudly - "why the hell have I never been to the New Hazlett?"  Its just another gorgeous theatre in Pittsburgh located next to the Children's museum, and I highly reccomend the setting.  The play itself - was fantastic.  Each actor fit his rolely perfectly, and Mamet's attacks on the "salesman" mentality, greed, and masculinity resonate even louder today given the current financial meltdown.  The play runs until this weekend - GO SEE IT!  And if you mention my name at the door - well, nothing happens, but still, it might be fun to try.

-  Kurt Vonnegut gives his best advice on writing short stories:



-  Apparantly great writers are great thieves.  This will show you exactly how and why to steal

-  Here's a good question:  Why do you write?




-  I think I write because it's the only "career" that makes any sense to me.  Now if only I could make it into a "career"  then...



- Aww yeah!
