The funny thing about being a writer, and not being another kind of creative person, is that in addition to creating something remarkable you also have to use words. My words developed at two-years-old in the form of ma-ma, bye-bye, pweeze, and tank ewe, but, at least in the first decade of my life, they were no more capable of becoming something marvelous than my crooked teeth were. But part of what I love about both words and teeth is that they can be polished, rearranged, extracted, and replaced to make a beautiful masterpiece. We put work into them, and they shine. It isn't their responsibility to scramble themselves about into the perfect position.
