Zitat des Tages von Richard Greenberg:

I think I'm a writer, and it's my job. People in other professions are expected to do their jobs all the time. Why shouldn't I?

My friends and family have been so well trained that they know I really mean it when I say that I don't care if the review is good, because that can be as dangerous as when it's bad. It's less demoralizing, but it can be just as confusing.
