Unquenchable, by Robert Glennon

A writing blog about things I think are cool.
“Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth yo meet the shadowy future, without fear.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of* no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli’ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the Queen!” Traditional Rhyme for Guy Fawkes Day.

“Sometimes writing is difficult. Sometimes writing is like pounding a brick wall with a ball-peen hammer in the hope that the barricade will evolve into a revolving door. Sometimes writin is like talking to a stranger who’s exactly like yourself in every possible way, only to realize that this stranger is boring as shit.”
