I said "I need to get published or something. I need to write something, complete it, and get it out there. I need to stop being a Computer tech/network Administrator and be a WRITER!"
He said: "No, you need to just be a writer. Just write it, man. Get it down on paper. Worry about publishing and all that stuff later. if its in your mind it'll poison everything."
And I said: "Y'know you're right. I need to get back to just writing short stories and handing them to friends saying 'here, read this.' Those were the good days. The really prolific days."
Only...I couldn't really think of any friends to give anything to. And that's a horrible thing to say really.
