For the last 2 weeks I feel I have lost a sense of reality. My brain has been diving into the world of "WE ARE THE STRANGE" and when it comes out of it I've been having a hard time
figuring out whats what. To settle my brain down I read one of my favourite essays from George Orwell, "WHY I WRITE." I think one of the reasons that I have been going crazy is that I haven't been setting enough time aside to read and take in new things, every waking moment feels like it needs to be spent doing something productive and
thats beginning to become harmful to my mental state... Anyways, I felt I should just put some quotes up here, more for myself, but for anyone who reads this as well.......
When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, " I am going to produce a work of art." I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose........
I have not written a novel for seven years, but I hope to write another
fairly soon. It is bound to be a failure, every book is a failure......
Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness.
Yeah, I know these aren't the most uplifting things to read but for someone who is constantly trying to create, it is good to know that someone you look up to has gone through the same shit... I got a lot more sound to do and only a handful of days until I am back on the islands! I can't friggen wait!
