3 more rules to break

1) A man in a purple tutu says, "no, I will not rite or right or write for you, I will not ride to Bute or rile two goons. I will not, can not, dare not Rye. To ewe, or other sheepish folk, I will sing as Groucho spoke, so wry to you."

The first rule of Stephan is thus: One must write every day or become the same as every other broken man in mommy-bought blue jeans. Which is to say, I will be mot...ivated by fear of becoming normal.

2) The suffragette in the granite mausoleum says nothing. She is still. She is very still. She is still dead.

The second rule of Stephan is thus: One must write everyday or become the same as every other man without a real job. Which is to say, I will be motivated by the joy of being free.

3) A platypus in an elephant costume says, "Why do I need a reason? I am a platypus."

The third rule of Stephan is this, no more, no less: One must write every day or become the same as every other man in search of God. Which is to say, in the act of creation we find that which creates us. I will be motivated by madness - the simple kindness of insanity that divulges the truest of all secrets, there is no more fascist act than writing, and at heart we all wish to rule the world.
