Great post (minus the gross picture that's been stuck in my head for weeks now). I forgot to mention that I wrote a response to this post over at LitDrift.

Then it..er...changes? Mike- I'm so in awe of how you write. Stefan- we had rats under our house. and I'm a wimp, a real pansy. Your beginning really got to me. yuck, but well written yuck. Not good, but so good.. And Blake picked the pic which is both worse and better than my choice. What I mean is less offensive and more disturbing, but it's all disney stills compared to that Gallo thing.

Mostly the occasional letter hits the windshield of my page, splats, dries into detritus, and falls into piles like mouse droppings around my desk, inevitably spelling out the same word, the same phrase, the same sentence. The "rats" photo, however reminded me of a beginning that never began: <i>The sound of mice gnawing concrete kept him awake at night. This house, he was certain, was haunted. Not that the mice had anything to do with it. It was the footsteps in the wall; the distinct sound of footsteps as he pressed his ear to the wall, while the mice chewed their way in, their sharp teeth crunching the stone, which he could feel in his bones, and the fear of which made his bed an island.</i> If it were not for plagiarizing my own work (“work” perhaps is too generous a word) the excruciating sentences that push themselves through paristalsis would never reach their plop and aplomb.
