The Mind of the Writer

.
Are You Lookin’ at Me?

“The mind of a writer can be a truly terrifying thing — isolated, neurotic, caffeine-addled, crippled by procrastination and consumed by feelings of panic, self-loathing and soul-crushing inadequacies. And that’s on a good day.”  

—Robert DeNiro, 2014 Academy Awards introduction for Best Screenplay.(Thanks to alert WORDster Alan Kania)

• Editorial Comment: What’s your point? BTW, Happy National Grammar Day.
