Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

In only his second column ever, Elton, undaunted, tackles the Eternal Song of the Aspiring Writer.
And speaking of songs:
Elton Pruitt wrote: Welcome back to another installment of Running Up That Hill, the only column in the WWWorld1 named after a Tori Amos song that the columnist doesn't even like!
Elton Pruitt wrote: Years later, Elton regained his senses and rediscovered his love of comic books. Around this time he also discovered a passionate dislike for Southern rock – Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special, you name it – and proudly attested to its worthlessness throughout the halls of his high school in Searcy, Arkansas.
So it seems only fitting that his first published comic book story would revolve around a Lynyrd Skynyrd song.
I'm noticing a pattern here....maybe you should switch your iPod to music you don't like, because apparently it keeps you writing.
