hello, my name is giftless.

I love writing, but I hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, “You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, giftless. I’m not your agent and I’m not your mommy; I’m a white piece of paper — you wanna dance with me?” and I really, really don’t.”

— Aaron Sorkin [writer of only my favorite tv show ever
and many, many other fantastic things.]

addendum: after reading the above to the boy and remarking at how accurately mr. sorkin is reading my freaking mail right now, the boy remarks:

“so what you are telling me is that instead of just freaking writing these articles already, you are instead looking up quotes about not writing by aaron sorkin?”

score: boy, 1, procrastinating girl, 0.
