Be Yourself!

Rumor has it that being a writer or any sort of artist (artiste if you want to be pretentious) gives you license to be quirky.

You can wear your hair short and spiky, and even dye it with purple streaks (if that's your thing). You can wear old tennis shoes with an otherwise hip outfit, including a trench coat and funky glasses. You can wear black socks with short pants and you can have LOTR marathons (extended edition, of course).

But hey, I say be yourself whether you're an artiste or an accountant. Even if that means wearing Spider Man undies under your three-piece suit.
