"Sometimes you have to do the work and hope the career materializes."

 "You knew the nail was bending, so why did you keep hitting it?"

"Luckiest are those who always knew what they wanted to do in life."

I am an epigrammist, sometimes called an epigrammatist. The idea being to not say things the long way. To distill the thought into a concise sentence that is quotable and memorable. It is pleasant work, but there is no good writing that is not hard work. The raw material is everything I see and everything I read and everything I hear. An epigrammist needs to be a close observer, a studious reader and an attentive listener. And not a waster of words. 

I Thought So is my first book of epigrams, but I already have plenty more. I write one or two a day. They filter down through a fifty page document. Raw ideas on the early pages, half-finished in the middle, finished epigrams on the last pages. I send them out into the world and hope not just to be read, but to be quoted and to be useful.
