dandaddario:

your boss assigns you to spend one day trolling for traffic in the most craven, gross, venal manner possible, and you just do your normal routine, and your day was a big success.

Sometimes I think to myself, “Well, I’m not curing diseases or anything,” when it comes to comparing my own work to writing I don’t find particularly stunning, but I’ll always have B____ M_____ to point to and say, “But at least I’m not doing that.”
