I Write Because I Would Like To Live Forever

This statement of intent by the late Reginald Shepherd is well worth reading. It's long, but every word of it rings true for me.

    Oh, Scott, I'm sorry! I didn't realize you were posting today. I think I was writing my post while yours went up. :(

    I didn't see you writing a post either! This is funny! Anyway, my post is just a link to something I liked online, so it's good you had actual original content!

    And somehow my post got totally lost in the shuffle. Because I absolutely wrote one. Absolutely. It was there and now it's gone, and it was really really really insightful.

    It was better than anything I've ever written.

    I write because I know I will not live forever.

    And then there's the fact that, in all likelyhood, I am now much closer to the end than to the beginning.

    Chuck: Me, too. I'm more aware of that every day. Sometimes it makes me twitchy.
