And this post made me feel less phony in what I do. There are other people who feel they suck at what they do, even though thats the only thing they know how to do! Who knew! Loving you blog.

That's all. :)<br /><br />I read <a href="www.lettersofnote.com/2012/04/forget-your-personal-tragedy.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> letter today. Ernest H to Scott F.G. Parts of it spoke loudly to me. Some lines vaguely reflected what I might've meant to say. But maybe I flatter myself. Still. Pretty certain you'll find something that speaks to you, too. Kehta hai: <i>I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit. </i> (Ha! Change masterpiece to something humbler and page to paras and that's closer to what I feel).<br /><br />... <i>'For Christ sake write and don't worry about what the boys will say nor whether it will be a masterpiece nor what. I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit. I try to put the shit in the wastebasket. You feel you have to publish crap to make money to live and let live. All write but if you write enough and as well as you can there will be the same amount of masterpiece material (as we say at Yale). You can't think well enough to sit down and write a deliberate masterpiece and if you could get rid of Seldes and those guys that nearly ruined you and turn them out as well as you can and let the spectators yell when it is good and hoot when it is not you would be all right.<br /><br />Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to hurt like hell before you can write seriously'.</i><br /><br /><b>Cog</b>: Cough Syrup. Thank you:) I like. You're right. They're right.

Your one piece of criticism though is heh, a bit twisted. You can't criticise what doesn't exist. I mean, of course you can, but that becomes a little nebulous, no? Work with what you got. Wishful isn't criticism. Unless wishful is the harshest criticism. Jesus. You're eating pizza. You can add seasoning. But you can't say what's wrong with it is that it isn't rajma. That's a bizarro premise. Entertaining, and I'm all for it, but beyond the realm of real. You can't wish Orwell was Russell and Russell, Kinsella (Sophie)! It don't fly. It never could. Wait... unless you're saying merely that you needed more cheese on the pizza. Hmm... ok. I see your point. I got defensive. But more good wrting in the same post? Or at large, blog wise?

Again, dissatisfaction and a sense of purposelessness and meaninglessness. I've been at home a month now. It's taken me all this time to finally realize what I want to do, and now I'm working on it.
