I DON'T DO IT MUCH, BUT I HAVE FOUND THAT HAND-WRITING IN ALL CAPS IS AN INEXPLICABLY-GOOD WAY TO LASSO A FROTH OF EMOTION WITH YOUR PEN.

IT MIGHT FEEL STUPID FOR THE FIRST LINE OR SENTENCE OR PARAGRAPH OR PAGE. DO NOT LET THIS FEELING STOP YOU UNTIL YOU FEEL LIKE WRITING CALMLY.

IF I AM RIGHT OR YOU ARE LUCKY, THIS WILL ERECT A SHRINE TO THE VALIDITY OF YOUR INTERNAL LIFE. IF I AM RIGHT OR YOU ARE LUCKY, YOU WILL FEEL LIKE A HORSE THAT HAS STOLEN THE REINS.

THIS POWER MAY SURPRISE YOU. IT MAY EXCITE YOU. IT MAY LIBERATE YOU. IT MAY FEEL ELECTRIC.

DO NOT LET THIS LIGHT BURN WHEN YOU DO NOT NEED IT.
