it lends a mysterious quality to my personality when i tell the peasants around me i write
the mystery intensifies when i refuse to tell them what i write
it pleases me greatly, especially when i'm sitting at home not writing

Subjugation of dominant modes of discourse via recursive, violent and revolutionary praxis. Dismantling the text and its structurality through sensational, intertextual abandon. Rewiring the substitution of the Other as transcendental cognate, as signified relations between signs themselves as operative, social and political notions circuitously at play with the text itself.

Sublimation of the Father in regressive tendency and movement toward the phallic Mother of 2014's varied and branching erogenous critical zones. Worship of the transsexed as radically and terminally in opposition to the binary as signifier.

To impress undergrad broads in leggings and doc martens.

convincing myself is the battle
convincing others is not

Not really. Most of them were alcoholics or addicts, but most never wrote while imbibing.

Hemingway never drank while writing, contrary to popular belief.

Faulkner drank so hard he drove himself insane a few times, but he never drank while writing.
