Some days, I'm chatting on the internet, and one of us will say something that triggers a spark of creativity. I follow the thread, and it leads somewhere. Just like that, I'm seeing a world open up before me, with intricate details, smells, sounds, characters and a mood. Today, it happened during a chat about a house mate who was getting a rent discount for providing access to the terrace through his room, except he never told anyone about the discount, or about the terrace. He just took the cash and kept quiet.

It started out well, but there was a problem. Burtmanwoman had the munchies and she couldn't keep her mush sealed, while I crafted the mood. Here's the proof:

It's a wonder I get anything done.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
