RE: '... like Webster's dikshon - ay - ree ...'

Scottie is Greek, he casts unpromising children into the ravine. But there
are rumors of the fair haired child waiting in the wings to ascend the
stage.

Scottie:
While I deeply respect growth and self-criticism, how is it possible to be
EMBARRASSED over your own work? What is it? Your diary from when you were
thirteen and going through homosexual panic? Come on. I was about to say
"if it was good enough to be published...", then realized how many truly
atrocious books I've read. Still, Although I definitely see the youth and
naiveté in my early works, I'm still proud of them all, like children that
aren't perfect, but still... They're still my children.
