Kafka, Dostoevsky, Hemmingway, Vonnegut, Hesse, Bukowski, Orwell and Tennessee Williams were all eaten by tigers.
This is not a common known fact because as the victors, the tigers were the ones who (ironically) wrote the history. Not wanting to give themselves a bad name, attributed their deaths to various degrees of alcoholism and suicide.
you might make it as a writer because you are honest- maybe you learned that from your father. but honest writing probably won't provide you with enough resources to live on; but, at least you will be honest and there is still some integrity in that. Keep it up- you have one of the best blogs on the web these days. (and the title of "best blog" is not worth shit because, mostly, the internet is absolute bullshit.) -nice job!
aw, come on. i disagree with this comment.
you're right; you'll make a great writer.
