Here's what's been on our minds.

\u201cA chair is a chair, is a chair\u2026 but a seat does not necessarily have to be a chair. It can be anything as long as it is ergonomically correct. A seat could even be a small and soft Pony on which you can ride or sit sideways. Pony looks like a child's oversized toy, but its dimensions are suited to adults. We are all big kids, of course.\u201d \u2013 Eero Aarnio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcad This letter from Ernest Hemingway to F. Scott. Fitzgerald<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"For Christ sake write and don\u2019t worry about what the boys will say nor whether it will be a masterpiece nor what. I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit. I try to put the shit in the wastebasket\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt use it \u2014 don\u2019t cheat with it. Be as faithful to it as a scientist \u2014 but don\u2019t think anything is of any importance because it happens to you or anyone belonging to you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcad This interview with comic artist Frankie Yoshi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always imagine my mind to be like that episode of Spongebob where there\u2019s a bunch of mini-Spongebobs sitting at desks with filing cabinets and running around looking for something.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
