Please don't give me that crap about being realistic, Metchosin. You are bright, articulate, knowledgeable, and you have a good sense of humour. You might even have feelings. Are you in for three pages or do you just want to tell me that you don't want to do it? I know, you are already writing and you don't need this. I wasn't going to start until next Saturday myself but I'm feeling those kicks.

I had no intentions of trying to compete with Cohen. His wasn't even the kind of writing that I wanted to do. I plan things and then run away from them. I feel like the character in the Henry Miller book who has the perfect novel in his head but hasn't been able to write a word of it. I wasn't disillusioned mousethief. On the contrary, I found it refreshing that Cohen struggled too. The difference is that he got a word or two down on the page.

Are you in for three pages too Praise or do you just like booting my butt? Good to see that Bartholomew is ahead of the game.

What's a CA project Matt? I was hoping to encourage creative writing or lyrics or fiction.
