As always, while writing the little (very little) bit below Malcom we seem to have found once more the despair to write. It is a common event, somehow we end up writing one thing and suddenly our head is full of ideas about novels and all those stories that were to be but aren’t to be any more.
Perhaps this time we will set our sites small, on something that is truly achievable (no there is a strange looking word). We are reminded of an old saying that we can’t remember… something like “It’s better to reach for the stars and miss than to aim for a pile of ‘shit’ and hit it dead on!”. Strangely we couldn’t find the exact quote out there on the net, but we did find this which seems to capture the theme:
“I’d rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;
because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.
I’d rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;
for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.”
‑Milton Berle
