“There is ice in their laughter.”
- Thus Spoke Zarathustra

For many years, a developing writer will only practice with the worst ideas for the challenge of awaiting a later semblance of merit for the better ones.

Reduced to being your best and only customer is not a success story. Except for a writer.

With banned (or highly inhibited) books conceived as exclusive rights for the world’s leadership, the books must be good. Otherwise, "who cares? Let them read cake."

The deceit belongs not only to the storyteller (who feels no fault regardless) but also the enabling listener believing it again.

If your reading preference is to know “what the hell is going on with this book” before the last pages, then don’t read these novels.

Since everything is the manipulation of markets, this is all extremely normal.

"Writing a book is like following a path that only reveals itself to you as you walk it." - Matt Myklusch #amwriting Be Writing. #author #writer #writing #authorsky

With writing, rules can get broken, such as purposeful “run on” sentences.

Humor is a wonderful resource in your writing. Making your reader laugh in different places in your writing, even when in a serious scene, can really bring your reader right into the story. #amwriting ..Keep #Writing. - Wrtr #author #writer ~ #authorsky

A few classic "psychodrama" books:

American Psycho, A Clockwork Orange, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Canada will not lift retaliatory tariffs on the United States if President Donald Trump leaves any on Canada, @AssociatedPress reports. "We're not interested in meeting in the middle," said finance minister Dominic LeBlanc to the CBC. In addition to tariffs, some provinces have banned the sale of U.S. liquor from stores, while Canadians have been boycotting U.S. products and stores for weeks. Foreign minister Mélanie Joly says Canada does not want to "go through this psychodrama every 30 days or so."

Siddhartha: An Indian Tale by Herman Hesse, 2002

Siddhartha is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled century has produced. Integrating Eastern and Western spiritual traditions with psychoanalysis and philosophy, this strangely simple tale, written with a deep and moving empathy for humanity, has touched the lives of millions since its original publication in 1922. Translated by Joachim Neugroschel Introduction by Ralph Freedman

Isolationism does not happen overnight but is a long, desperate progression towards acceptable stagnation.

Virtues are dangerous as vices insofar as they are allowed to rule over one as authorities and not as qualities one develops oneself.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche

Coincidence of Chance

A novel weighing the consequence of privacy, influence of observation, spirit of resistance, and risk of thinking for yourself.
A story about a cat in a box.
And a book.

Two novels very much about writing books.

A novel weighing the consequence of privacy, influence of observation, spirit of resistance, and risk of thinking for yourself.

A story about a cat in a box.
And a book.
