Can only, from a place far below, marvel at great writing. Can only fall back to loutish sloganeering: I like Mike. Write like Mike

Slogans are the art and discipline of saying a lot with few words. And they keep the wolves from the door. In between times take a deep breath, write for the joy of it, write to confront the challenge of an empty page and seemingly empty mind. Write like Wilson - and you'll shine.
