On Writing and Failure
Got this in a bookstore in Bastrop (TX).
“The writing of our time is in constant, unrelenting transition.” Page 12.
But then, the writing, and in a larger context, art in general, is in constant, unrelenting transition. Grow, adapt, or die an inglorious death.
“The nation of writers is a nation of three-legged dogs.” Page 17.
True, both in essence and in context.
“It is stupid to say that writers need to suffer.” Page 48.
And yet? We do. Try bleeding on the page.
“At this moment, I have no idea if I am successful or not.” Page 62.
As they say? “Same.”
On Writing and Failure
It’s a tiny treatise on writing, artists, and articulation. The basis of the endeavor, the why and wherefore, and no one is left untouched. I might be mad.
