he is indeed brilliant and there’s not even anything more that can be said about that point.

anyway, on to what you said about my questions.

1. i’m not really sure that i asked that question well because i don’t sleep anymore and my brain is tired. as such, i’m not entirely certain of what i was going for when i asked it, but i’ve never been one to let uncertainty stop me before, and i really have to stop with the rambling.

okay. i like what you have to say. i don’t have a follow up question here, but i do think you make some good points, so huzzah and kudos to you, sir.

2. yes. the thing i think is cool about the fact that everybody on the planet (give or take) seems to have a blog these days is that even those who might not ever consider themselves writers are writing, and the amount of information, opinions, thoughts, and other whatnots that is out there on the internet is staggering. and rather amazing. i do wonder, though, if everybody wants to be read, if everybody’s a writer, then does being a writer mean the same thing it used to mean, or not?

3. yeah, exactly. though i was going to quote a larger portion of the chapter, but i didn’t because it seemed pretty long. anyway, though i agree that being the one writer might not be all that swell, in a profession/activity where so much depends on the ability to not only say things well, but to say them in a somewhat original way, do you ever read something and almost wish that it hadn’t been written because you wanted to say it that way? that question isn’t exactly right, but i hope you get what i mean.
