there’s a lot of articles floating around
“HOW TO BE A GREAT WRITER!”
fuck me
this is how…
live life
jump out of moving vehicles
run into forests in the dark
scare the shit out of yourself
sit with just you and only you
love yourself and also hate yourself (a bit)
when you gain success, abandon it! take time out — longer than expected
wallow in the discomfort of growing
do not keep up appearances
instead force yourself into new spaces
you may be conditioned to seek security
but nothing about life is secure
be safe with your story
in order to ask other people questions you have to ask yourself questions
the really horrible ones
not - am I the best? but - could I be better?
the answer is always yes
the writer who throws themselves into the abyss is the one that will tell you something

Just wanted to give ya a quick shout out that I actually follow some of your poem on the daily including dodging traffic on Felix, (my flip-flop fixie) & that I scare the shit out of myself every day that I look at myself in the fucking mirror. As far as appearances, totally out of the question. Unlike some bias believers, not all witches were were drowned, burned, etc. etc. & not all of them were women. I cannot be any happier to be on the right side of things & I'm almost done with part 5 of my American Werewolf in San Francisco short. Hope you like...✌️
Love it! This is also how to live life, except for the seeking security bit at a certain time in life. I'm not a writer but the arrival of tiny lives one is responsible for elevates the importance of security.
