I had a bunch of quotes that I used for email signatures and quotes about writing up on my fanfiction website which has been taken down for many, many years. I had fun playing in fandom. I had fun writing fanfiction and I miss being so involved but it’s not something I’ll go back to doing. Anyway, I found the quotes and wanted to put them somewhere I can find them easily.<\/p>\n

To the man with an ear for verbal delicacies—\u00a0the man who searches painfully for the perfect \u00a0word, and puts the way of saying a thing above \u00a0the thing being said— there is in writing the constant joy of discovery, of \u00a0happy accident. \u00a0— H.L. Mencken <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
