When I wasn't inspired to write anything, I just didn't and went and lived life. I didn't feel pressure because I wasn't writing. When inspiration came again, I wrote. That said, the hardest part for me is just getting my butt to the computer. Once I'm there I can be there for hours (just like the gym). It's the getting there that is the biggest stumbling block. I think just committing to 10 minutes a day can help someone get over writer's block. Just sit down for 10 minutes and if that leads to 20 minutes and then 140 minutes, great! And if not, you got 10 minutes of writing done. And if you do that every day, eventually you've got a book. It will be a crappy first draft, but all first drafts are crappy. But you've created the clay, and then you get to play with it, craft it into something more. Creating the clay is the hardest part!(less)

She last came to me one dusky autumn day.

And while I didn’t mind the wilted flowers, or the spilled champagne, or that she soiled her dress pleasuring herself on top of me, I did regret that she was crying when she rolled off my grave.(less)

Ralph Bradley shared a note and highlight from
Until September by Harker Jones
His friends were different. Or maybe he was different. He didn’t know. He did know, regardless, that it was the price of having Jack. And while he was happy to pay it, it made him sad there was a price at all.
We can't have our cake and eat it too. One of the problems with true intimacy is that it is exclusive.
Betting on the Muse by Charles Bukowski
“The Laughing Heart

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.”
Charles Bukowski
