A kingdom, one established at the very dawn of first millenium in the year the lord whose devotion to the son of the blessed virgin betrayed their geneological origins as crude nomadic savages whose obscure ancestral homeland lies beyond the edge of maps of which there are only conjectural monsters, demons and men or creatures like them who feast on human flesh.

if you just want to sell something to the common mouth breather then go ahead and plug cliches into a formula to make up for your utter lack of creativity and intelligence and to remain palatable to the average simpleton although unless you're a Jew/Woman/African/Rich/Famous or otherwise nepotistically privileged you won't occupy enough of the tiny seven second headspace in the brains of the money makers in marketing for them to even realize you exist in decide to shelve your garbage. If you want to make art you shouldn't even have to ask this question, if you actually had an idea in your brain worth putting to paper you would already know exactly what to do and wouldn't be here at all. You must engage with your subconscious.

I had this toad once. I called him Toadster. One night, I found him in his habitat with a cricket standing on his head with its leg in his eye. He was bleeding from his eye. He died the next day.

I got another toad and called him Toadster 2. Toadster 2 lived much longer. I would make lego aerospace vehicles and put Toadster 2 in the cockpit. He would piss and shit in fear and it would leak through the cracks in the legos and run down my child's hands and arms. Toadster 2 bit me sometimes. I was young and did not know.

They rode on and then they squatted and then they rode on and stopped at the tienda where they bought tortillas and beans and coffee in a tin can and then they rode on and they stopped and dismounted and then they squatted and cooked the tortillas and beans and made coffee and they drank coffee while they waited for the tortillas and beans to be ready and then they ate the tortillas and beans by dipping the tortillas into the beans and then they put the tortillas and beans into their mouths and then they rode on and stopped and squatted and then they rode on and then they stopped at another tienda where they bought more tortillas and more beans and more coffee and then they rode on.

Finished Blood Meridian and The Road recently. Where do I go next? Does he have a new novel coming out?

*blocks your path*

we can go back and forth posting examples of outsiders versus MFAs but ultimately the point is the MFA doesn't make the meme, the meme is just more likely to be MFA but it's not like it's required or predictable

Did this asshole forget he’s like 98 and going to die any day? Release a new fucking book you old bastard.
