A Few Words About Writing When, or if, during the course of the history of the universe, you, or anyone else for that matter, decide that you wish to take it upon yourself, in a thoroughly opportunistic approach, to make an attempt at realizing the obstreperously pontificative notion of embellishing the presently mundane world by unlaconically composing, at one writing, the longest sentence you, or anyone else, of course, has ever written during the course of your or anyone else's lifetime, and you find that although you are putting forth much sweat and effort, your result seems always to be somewhat less than entirely fruitful, it is, with all grammatical thoughts in mind, of course eternally incumbent and wholesomely indicative upon yourself, or anyone else, to continue to keep in mind the fact that among the many qualities which could possibly be helpful in this area, longwindedness on the part of the writer, a totally unsound mind, and just plain, sheer weirdness are forever good things to possess, because as is known to the knowledge of some highly strange but rather excelling individuals, without these inviolable qualities of longwindedness, unsoundness of mind and weirdness, you or anyone else will surely find it facilitously easy to fall short in your efforts to graduate from mere tyro or neophyte to grand master of the writing of long sentences, and because these esoteric but ascertainable and tenable qualities of longwindedness, unsoundness of mind and weirdness do in fact represent in every degree the very essence and rudiments of everything necessary to excel in this line of work (or whatever else you or anyone else would care to call this folly); therefore, it should be said coercively and vehemently to anyone not possessing or maintaining of these qualities of longwindedness, unsoundness of mind and weirdness that if he does not choose to espouse and sequester them specifically for the purpose of emanating them later in order to attempt to participate in the art of the writing of long sentences he should eschew the notion altogether and thus give up trying himself in this still new and underrated but quite eminently peculiar folly and countermandingly suppress his vigorous surges of zealous fanaticism before he even sharpens his pencil in preparation, because any attempt made by such an arrantly fatuous dilettante would be completely garish and meretritious travesty as well as an irrefutably undesirable anathema, evincing only a maze of meaningless, abstruse verbiage and not quality, coherent craftsmanship consummated by the aesthetically beautiful motifs ubiquitously agreed to subsist as a substantive part of any piece of literature and because this charlatan would be a stupid ding-dong to think that he could even begin to compete with the longwinded, unsound, weird and excelling individuals of today's modern literary world who are truly good at what they do.
