thus spoke vonnegut

"A key to great writing, he added, is to never use semi-colons. What are they good for? What are you supposed to do with them? You're reading along, and then suddenly, there it is. What does it mean? All semi-colons do is suggest you've been to college.

Make sure, he added, that your reader is having a good time. Get to the who, when, where, what right away, so the reader knows what is going on.

Live one day at a time. Say 'if this isn't nice, I don't know what is!'

You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society.

The greatest peace, Vonnegut wraps up, comes from the knowledge that I have enough. Joe Heller told me that.

I began writing because I found myself possessed. I looked at what I wrote and I said 'How the hell did I do that?'

We may all be possessed. I hope so."
