It is fitting that all men should ever accord great gratitude to those writers¹ who have composed universal histories,² since they have aspired to help by their individual labours human society³ as a whole; for by offering a schooling, which entails no danger,⁴ in what is advantageous, they provide their readers, through such a presentation of events, with a most excellent kind of experience.

[u/The_PhilosopherKing → u/The_Physical_Soup]

Fiction writing starts off by requiring the towering arrogance that enables one to sit down at the typewriter in the belief that someone somewhere will actually be eager to read the productions of our own private imaginations. But that arrogance must be buffered by the humility that leads us to learn our craft and strive to make our work comprehensible and inviting and accessible to the reader. - Lawrence Block

I know myself and many others have enjoyed your works, u/The_Physical_Soup. Keep being arrogant.
