"Why do you want to climb Mount Everest?"

"Because it's there."

- George Mallory, 1886-1924, thought to be the greatest mountain climber of all time.


Lost on Everest in 1924, body recovered in 1999.

Nobody knows if he actually made it to the top or not.


Hang in there.

As a truly creative person, you will find that you're all alone.

Society is not geared to support people who are creative,
and your friends will think you're crazy for taking all this stuff seriously.

You would have be a truly integrated person [in the Jungian sense],
and with a very healthy ego for it to not bother you.

Then again, people with healthy egos don't usually become artists.


On a personal note, I've tried and tried to fit in,
but I'm an abject failure as a "normal person"


But the answer to why I write has gone beyond the thought of reward.

For me personally, the answer is simple:

"I have no choice."



Because it's there.
