Great Quote

I read this today in Lewis' Letters to Children: asked why he became a writer, he said "Chiefly, I think, because my clumsiness or fingers prevented me from making things in any other way." I think this may have to do with why I aspire to write. Today I tried to use a sewing machine. The thread on the spool ended up within the innards of the sewing machine, wound around the bobbin (a few of you know what this means). However, I was determined to not go downstairs and ask my extremely mechanically-savvy neighbor/landlady for assistance. After all, I can read directions, at least.
