Actually, I think we should

ban these

challenges. I mean,

do you really think I want to spend my

evenings

finding ways to

get my thoughts out through

hysterically

intricate means?

Just because I CAN make it work, at least

kinda, doesn’t mean that I

love doing it.

Maybe I have better things to do!

No one, not even

one person, asked if

perhaps I might in fact be

quite busy with more

relaxing pastimes.

Say I was

trying to finish the last chapter of my

untitled novel. I could be attempting

very intentionally to focus on the fate of my characters

when, instead, I find myself considering which words begin with the letter

“X.”

You can’t deny — it’s quite inconsiderate of the Vocal leaders, and . . . oh,

zounds. I’ve done it anyway, haven’t I?
