we are a hideous lot
"But listen: most of the good writers out there are ugly. Butt ugly. Plug ugly. Fugly. I'd give you a long list of examples, but this isn't that kind of thing. I'm not interested in research. Research bores me. You know what I'm talking about, anyway. All that literary dogmeat. Except for Faulkner. Faulkner was hot. But he was a drunk." steve almond

hmmm...we must be destined for fame then...even if it's just for breaking the mold and being a good-looking lot of writers. because, really, we are damn fine. hot. hott, even. foxy. all that. and a bag of chips.
mmm...yes, didn't we all start writing as a means of preventing ourselves from staring into mirrors and crying? i mean, isn't that the more specific purpose of nhwc? don't we drape all the reflective surfaces in the apartment (silver goblets, silver platters, large flat basins of scented water) with black cloth when we hold meetings? we will have to be very careful when we start using the pool because it will contain a vast quantity of placid water. hmm... maybe we can just wear blindfolds while in there to avoid the reflection? that might complicate my being able to use my typewriter in there, however.... i am a good touch-typer, though, so maybe it could work out anyway.
I'm buying a battery operated typewriter and a pair of blinders. Unlike horse blinders, they radiate out from below my eyes, so I cannot see my reflection.
But yeah, I think we're all f-ing hot.
