The Problem With Reading And Writing Leading To A Strong Vocabulary Is That You Tend To Know The Vibe

Been thinking about another William Faulkner quote lately:

“Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it.

Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”

A lot of my writing is about to be thrown out the window.

anarchism and god complex

"If reincarnation is real I wonder how many people stare at their own art in museums, listen to their own music they made in a different life and read books they don't remember writing"

Rationalizing the irrational

in my mind Henry finished the translation of Paradise Lost and Richard found it in the glove compartment of Henry's car after his death
