Write or Die
Can you raise me from the dead and leave my heart to rest So I can love again? My favorite line from Jonathan Thulin's song, Graveyard. This song hails from his CD, The White Room. If you haven't downloaded any of his music you are missing out. It's intense to say the least. I like that in ... Read More

Prose Queens. I’ll read anything they write. These women inspire me. My favorite books by these gifted writers are 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 @alessandratorre4: The Ghostwriter @tess_callahan: April & Oliver @tiffaniedebartolo: How to Kill a Rockstar
Some writers have it all. They are born with this incredible, well rounded gift. Stephen king refers to this magnitude of gift in his book "On Writing". They're just born knowing what to say and how to say it. These are the great writers like, Hemingway and Thoreu and Austin. He is probably referring to himself as well, but he's too humble to say it. The rest of us have to strap on the coal miners cap, ascend somewhere dark and chip away at a craft for years. And that's okay. Hard work in an era of immediate gratification has lost its uumph in society. But if you’re wanting to sharpen your writing teeth I’d encourage you to read: On Writing by Stephen King. And my friend @clairecontreras gifted me Neil Gaiman’s MasterClass—so good. I would recommend. Thinking of you guys, love you 💓
These women write about the uncomfortable. They tell the truth and it’s a wonderful train wreck. There is a tired fury in their eyes “try me.” 📚📚📚📚📚Here are my favorites from these authors. @bcherryauthor: The Gravity of Us @andreadunlop: We Came Here to Forget @clairecontreras: Half Truths @christinebrae: Eight Goodbyes
Now that @jrnorman21 is working from home 24/7, under my complete control, making me gin and tonics and freeing up my time considerably, I’ve realized I’m a controlling jealous man at heart...and I don’t know why anyone would marry me. #thisissocialdistancing
Bryn posted a photo of herself a few weeks ago and it was so striking I asked some of my friends to replicate it for a project I’m working on. You can almost see the story building in their eyes. Anxiety, ineptitude, frustration, small triumph, love, hate, fun, torture—all the emotions we feel in the span of an hour as our fingers clack, clack, clack at the keyboard. Here are my favorite books by these authors...🤍 🤍 • @amy.harmon2: The Bird and the Sword @bryngreenwood: Lie Lay Lain @colleenhoover: Verity @willowaster: In the Fields
Cheers cheers to thirty years! Happy birthday @simoneinthekitchen. My little Italian South African cupcake. I love you so much!
It’s lecture city right now. Here’s mine: let the people be. Some people are anxious by nature, some people like to pretend nothing is wrong, some people shut down and other people won’t stop talking about it. Some people are still wondering why there is no toilet paper and making jokes about it because “the only thing you can do is laugh...” —that’s me. Why does anyone think they have the right to tell people how to express themselves...? They shouldn’t. Don’t. Find people who make you feel better, follow those people. It’s people against the disease. The sooner we figure that out the sooner this will go away. In other news, I’ve never felt more desirable than I do in this toilet paper.
