People Write

“People write about getting sick, they write about tummy trouble, they write about having to wait for a bus. They write about waiting. They write three pages about how long it took them to get a visa. I’m not interested in the boring parts. Everyone has tummy trouble. Everyone waits in line. I don’t want to hear about it.”

    Hmm, I wonder if he was referring to books or blogs. Or perhaps he taught freshman composition at some point?
