This was sent to me by a friend. Thought all the aspiring writers here would like it too:
---
The Great Writer
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
PS I thought this was funny until I upgraded my primary hard drive and encountered a few of the messages he's written trying to get my configuration back to what it should be.
