Fun on both sides of the writer/reader exchange? A kind of pleasure — more rarified, doubtless, than M&M’s or a good wank, but nevertheless pleasure. How do I allow myself to have Fun when writing without sacrificing Respect and Seriousness, i.e. going back to the exhibitionism and show-offery and pointless technical acrobatics?”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.lettersofnote.com/2012/02/i-dont-enjoy-this-war-one-bit.html">David Foster to Don DeLillo — Letters of Note: I don’t enjoy this war one bit</a></em>http://thebestican.org/post/18067580536http://thebestican.org/post/18067580536Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:55:05 -0600ArtWriting<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzsoy2ZPul1qz8zayo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Dressing up in celebration?
