It's like this: You sit in your bedroom and the fan is on, the window is open, yet it is still hot. You have your laptop open and music is playing. On your walls there are numerous posters, a world map, and a dartboard. On your nightstand there are letters from last year's World History teacher, empty bottles, a switchblade and an ashtray. There are books on your shelf written by many great authors, poets, playwrights, and philosophers. In your hand there is a cigarette, and in the other there is The Stranger by Albert Camus. You sit alone, smoking and reading and drinking and suddenly you stop doing all of these things because inspiration has struck. Although you prefer a pen and paper, you begin typing on your laptop. The words come out and form sentences. The sentences form stanzas and eventually the stanzas form a finish a finish product. That is what it's like to be anything at all.
