Two Pages Away From Greatness

Because "you are two pages away from greatness."

If you are a serious writer, this isn't empty rhetoric. You should believe metaphorically that you are no further away than that. That you can come up with two pages that will become your "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Two pages that will give you that a twist ending that will be mentioned along with "The 6th Sense" and "The Usual Suspects." That it is within your ability to create the two pages that will propel your work from pedestrian to extraordinary.

If you a writer, "two pages away" is not arrogance, it's a fact. You have to have some confidence in that or you are just writing for friends or just as a hobby.

Now, here is a shirt to let people know how serious you are. How dedicated you are.

Or a shirt to let a loved one know how much you believe in them. A shirt that represents a writer's desire.
