Um, Castle, that happened when you were a kid.
-
I don't understand why that would change how I see you.
-
Because it changed how I saw myself.
-
The teacher read the paper to the entire class
-
as an example of great writing, and they applauded.
-
It was the first time I was celebrated ev--for anything,
-
And... it was a fraud.
-
I... I was a fraud.
-
That's when I learned how to write.
-
I wrote and wrote,
-
trying to be as great as everyone thought I was...
-
trying to earn that applause.
