Once you have been taught to dismiss your own emotions, it is a simple step to dismiss those of others.

I don't know how it's traditionally classified, but make no mistake, UN-RUINED by @rogerjva is a horror novel. Especially if you're a parent. Tackling the twin fears of death and one's inability to shield loved ones from it. Uniquely devastating. @MalarkeyBooks

If you do not write your book the result is simple: you are cursed to see fragments of it everywhere, piecemeal, for the rest of your life.

For many years I have been posting little observations on here. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings, because they should be seen:

There’s a word in modern German slang, Knäckebrottelefonierer, which describes a person who talks into their phone while holding it in front of their mouth like a cracker. It literally means “crispbread phoner”

If not for Flavio and Marita would La Ciénaga (2001) have even been made? I think not, Jefe.

It’s worth remembering that many of the most enduring and acclaimed novels in history - Tristram Shandy, Middlemarch, Jane Eyre, Moby-Dick, Ulysses - are animated by the timeless question “What if there was a really weird guy?”

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.
