mind pollution

Crud. I started working on my proposal chapters (I like the first two paragraphs pretty well) and I realized my mind has been polluted by 2000 years of Literature. I need to write like me, not anybody else. Urk. How does one cleanse one's mental palette? I already read Einstein, for crying out loud.

Sigh

You might need to give it a bit more time. Congratulations on passing, too!

And maybe find a book you know is terrible, read a few chapters and realize you can do much better? Scorn is a good motivator.
Right on all counts, Megan.
