You have paved the rickety way for me. I watched. I learned. I studied your hobbled gait down that crooked path. And I will follow, nervously now. From where can I summon the grace of your example? Your patience with the tedium amazes me.
"This journal is not a mere literary diversion. The further I progress, reducing to order what my past life suggests, and the more I persist in the rigor of composition--of the chapters, of the sentences, of the book itself--the more do I feel myself hardening in my will to utilize, for virtuous ends, my former hardships. I feel their power." --Jean Genet
