WHY WRITE?

Some writers are cosmos, some writers are boilermakers. Some writers are juice boxes. Some writers are extremely dry martinis, so dry they make you piss dust. Some writers are watered down well drinks, some are drops of poison. Some are apple cider, and some are sports drinks, and some are tap water masquerading as bottled water.

The risk is obvious. Still, we must drink.
