like soy sauce spilled on a napkin

I want to write the most amazing thing ever.

I aspire to just once write the perfect mesh of words.

A story that leaves people speechless and all they have left is laughter and tears. I want to write something that makes people rethink everything they’ve ever done. I want to stop them in their tracks with thoughts that are infectious, and I want to do it with the most tactile delivery and the most delicate, precise mix of words that caress the mind. I want something both brutal and beautiful.

It amazes me that I could construct keystrokes, simple little pyiunk-piunk keys, into words that wrap themselves in and around the brain to strike thoughts and pluck feelings and conjure images... I want to motivate, inspire. Because I could write the most philosophical, breath-taking, world-changing ideas onto my laptop, but if nobody reads it, there's no point at all. I want to seep into the minds of others like soy sauce spilled on a napkin.
