Motivation

I once heard if you want to lose weight, you should plaster your refrigerator with pictures of skinny-minny supermodels.

So, I thought I would try a similar technique to motivate myself to write literary non-fiction instead of my usual low-brow humor. I placed this list on my monitor:

  • Kenyon Review
  • Parnassus
  • Swanee Review
  • Massachusetts Review
  • Paris Review

The next morning, I glanced at it and headed straight to the refrigerator.
