“Heartbreak is funny to everyone but the heartbroken.”

Oh this is just a quote from the time I SAW JOAN DIDION.

"Finally, a writer is judged by what he writes, and that’s the way it should be. The circumstances surrounding the writing are something else, something extraliterary. Nobody ever asked me to be a writer. But it was tough to stay alive and pay bills and put food on the table and at the same time to think of myself as a writer and to learn to write. After years of working crap jobs and raising kids and trying to write, I realized I needed to write things I could finish and be done with in a hurry."
— Hero Raymond Carver on why he writes short stories, but I think it applies sort of to the pursuit of journalism, the quick-hit satisfaction (and what money there is) of that, too.
