I wrote a very rough draft for a short story on the toilet paper today while I was shitting

He is a rather elderly man

Sometimes I feel as if I shouldn't really be a writer. It is very difficult for me to write, I spend hours in front of the blank page, even afraid to write. I haven't written much in recent years, outside of a few essays that were published in a fanzine that, hopefully, 15 people have read. At least I know that those essays were liked by the few readers.
I have been doing exercises for a few weeks to improve my writing, and as a method to force myself to write more.

Roll them bleeding tapings
The Leslie, the Leslie mic is still on
The Leslie mic is still on, apparently
Thank you
Hey, good one, Jim (hey, good one, Jim)
(Next) okay, off we go, lad, take six (I'm still worried about Jim)
Two, three, four
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, 9 a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone

I unironically got an erection while reading the end

Let's be honest every novelist wishes they could be a great poet instead

I often imagine things happening in a novel not as "real", but rather as if it was a very elaborate stage play, does anyone else do this?

>If he be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek

I'm going to be the new Balzac

I had my first erection to a Boticelli painting a saw in an encyclopedia in my house.

What if I just cease 85% of my conscious thought and let my subconscious guide me? This is how it works right?

>reviewing a 500 page novel that came out two days ago

Mineral.

2000 years of humanities progress just to get utterly cucked and put into near irrelevancy by technology. What's our response?

All the Greeks coomed in little boys and thought it was great. Makes you think.

women are actually great but since we live in such anti social times the only natural response is sort of hating women because everything is still locked behind a social game, yet I just want to do other things instead.

Here I have an even more succinct and appropriate phrase to describe what “Ride the Tiger” means: “Cope”
