you must read to write
I woke up with a fat headache. I'm 4 pain pills down, not sure how much my liver can take in a 24 hour period, but I will be taking more before bed.
tonight I've been continuing on a piece of writing that i paused in October. the juices are flowing but not fast enough. i usually get the best inspiration right after finishing a book. I might have to read a book to get motivated.
Instead of a book, it's been a day filled with reading the discovery feed. Crazy shit is being said but it's good, a few of the people involved basically said what I was thinking, just articulated much better.
If you write for attention that's fine, but when you get that attention, you can't get mad. You can tell when people write for attention when their work contains a "this might offend some people" warning.
I haven't written anything political. And frankly, i don't think I know much at all beyond stuff that affects me and the surrounding people directly. I haven't lived enough yet, I'm a literal basement dweller. but I can say that I am educated and knowledgeable enough to see that this person has not a clue about where they stand.
I wonder when the last time they read a book? it was probably one on marketing.
