WRITING for the VOID

(UNFINISHED)

I never give up. I just take really long breaks.


Welcome to the Void. Sorry for all the empty space. I'm trying to get some furniture in. This is the home of all my personal creative projects, but my bread and jam is writing. For whatever reason, to fill a hole, justify self-respect, fulfill quixotic delusions of entering the VVestern Canon with a celestial step or whatever, I must put words to paper. I thank you for taking time to check it out. I hope you get something out of my hallucinations and day-dreams.


"Get a day job, make your money from that, and write to please yourself. And don't be a whore. Don't be a whore! Everybody works for the dollar. You work for the dollar, I work for the dollar. Everybody works for the Man, whether you work for Verizon or you work for Geico or you work for Bank of America. We all work for evil masters on far glass mountaintops and they will get their teeth into your pocket one way or the other. Spend 90 percent of your day not looking into a screen and spend it on yourself, living life, making friends, actually talking to people, doing things. Ten percent of your day, give to the Man. Ninety for you, ten for the Man. Otherwise, you're nothing but a whore. You're nothing but a beanfield hand. And when you get to a certain age you retire. To what? You've spent all your energy, you've spent all your imagination, you've spent all your fire... you've spent all your bravery. Do not be afraid to go there. That's my advice: Do not be afraid to go there. Wherever "there" is, don't be afraid to go there."
