Let this be a warning to all of you who wish to be inspired: don’t be. Don’t wish for the Muse! She’s a terrible pixie and—and, well, you’ll see: A wizard once loved a girl and he loved her very much. She was a darling girl and they were oh so very happy to Be. […]
I imagine every man has his own specific curse–that one thing that he alone would consider the very worst thing in the world. And since there are so many men with so many personalities, I imagine there are many “curses” I would only be too happy to accept. I’m often in need of a fairy, […]
