I wish this were original but I heard it on the radio, and it reminded me of this thread.
Irrational numbers, like pi, have an infinite number of decimals but are not repeating, so no one has ever seen the entire number. If no one has ever (and can never) see the number, is it really a number? Does it exist?
Do any numbers truly exist? Or are they all constructs?
Quote by PervyStoryteller
I've noticed in all kinds of cultural activity that artists/writers/musicians etc, are often most proud of works that are not generally considered their greatest.
Now I've discovered this happening to me; stories that I felt most proud of on publication can pass relatively unnoticed, while ones that I wrote on a whim for fun might be awarded a Recommended Read or prove more popular than I would have thought.
Do other authors have similar experiences? What stories are you most proud of, and did the response match your pride? Or have you published stories here where you're totally mystified by the esteem in which they're held?
