A letter.

Dear Casey,

You need to keep writing. You have talent.

And by God, I hope that you don't write because you need an audience. That kind of self indulgent crap is beneath you. You write because you are a writer.

You write because it is your calling.

You write because you need to do it.

You write because it encourages people like me with lesser talents to keep writing.

So write, damn it.

No. I am riddled with cliche and not people's cup of tea. And can send you the rejection letter if you don't believe me.

Yes, because every time someone who wants to be a writer, has things accepted immediately.

Oh, please.
