I don't care what your mother says. If you don't actually create anything, you ain't creative. 

I don't care if you call yourself a writer. If you don't write, you ain't a writer.

I don't care how old you are. If you don't nut up for the ones you love or the things you want, you ain't a man.

I don't care how much money you're living on. If you don't work for anything, you ain't worth a shit.

Draw a line in the sand, say THIS is where I claim my ground, and take one on the chin.  Win, lose or draw, do your damnedest to hold that line.  Just make anything mean something for one Godforsaken moment in your life. That's all anybody asks.

That's all I have to say about that.
