Stephen King told a group of aspiring writers at Yale University
that after they read something now published about which they were
sure they could write better, at that point they should consider
themselves aspiring writers. On other occasions, King has remarked
that if a person gets a check for a piece of writing, and the check
does not bounce when it is cashed, then that person is a writer.<br>

If you are interested in public policy, and you have the impression
that you could do a better job of governance than some of the now
elected, you might receive some validation of your opinion of
yourself by clicking around the map of states at the isidewith.com
site. In addition to showing how the positions of the elected match
with voters in particular states, the site indicates how your
selections match the voters' preferences. If your percentage of
agreement with a state's voters is higher than all other politicians
listed there, perhaps you could do a better job than they.<br>
