Blank pages are for scribbling
not masterpieces, and the inexhaustible
space of Microsoft Word is
only a match of the
inexhaustible space of a writer's
brain. And perfection is your
Godot, time is not for
waiting through, you must seize
each idea and force not,
only test until one day
something might appear reflecting the
side of you that you
insist is hidden somewhere, but
why don't you show it,
water it and let it
grow instead of waste your
mind and youth and words?
