Not exactly a map to fame and fortune.  And sadly, I do want a kind of fame.  My middle brother said it best: the goal is to be famous to other famous people.

It felt like I was pouring words out of my fingers.  Now I type three words, roll my eyes, delete them, get frustrated, and berate myself for losing the thing I needed to hang on to so badly.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>What the hell happened? <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;m afraid of what I might need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m running out of things to write now.
