The Princess Bride. The brave and vengeful swordsman says, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
When you choose a career goal, you vow something like that. "Everything else, prepare to die." I knew I would be a writer from a very young age. Some kind of writer. Every kind of writer, it turns out, chasing any degree of measurable success (i.e., audience response). Daisies wilt, forearms shielding their eyes, faced with an obstinate career obsession. True love?: Simone, doesn't.
