The best writing reviews namedrop Oscar Wilde in some way. Why do I know this? Because I got one!
On...Yelp. In response to an angry review of a horrible Tempe landlord that I rented from three years ago.
Whatever! That shit is going on the back or inside flap of my first book, a hard-hitting, poignant biography of Stonewall Jackson's favorite Civil War horse, Little Sorrel.*
Or I'll probably just use it as the tagline for anything I may do in the future:
"Oscar Wilde once said, 'Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.' You my friend, are this (wo)man."
Thanks, anonymous person with a picture of a cat for an icon!

* Nah, I'm sure Little Sorrel has too many biographies already. He's too famous. He even has his own episode on Dr. James Robertson's Civil War Podcast.
ETA: Yeah, I'm definitely not writing about a hero war horse. This guy already did, and he has it handled. "120 years ago today, at 6 o'clock in the morning, a great warrior passed to his reward."
