William Quincy Belle is just a guy. Nobody famous; nobody rich; just some guy who likes to periodically add his two cents’ worth with the hope, accounting for inflation, that $0.02 is not overvaluing his contribution. He claims that at the heart of the writing process is some sort of (psychotic) urge to put it down on paper and likes to recite the following, which so far he hasn’t been able to attribute to anyone: “A writer is an egomaniac with low self-esteem.” You will find Mr. Belle’s unbridled stream of consciousness here (http://wqebelle.blogspot.ca) or here (https://twitter.com/wqbelle).
