i wish i had some motivation to write more :/

...if u don't have motivation to write maybe you don't enjoy writing as much as you think..

...or maybe you're just depressed to give a fu[size=2]ck[/size] anymore..

Yeah, once it becomes something that preoccupies you then it's just not your thing.

Depression has nothing to do, good writers use any emotion to work on, really. The approach, buckos, that's all that really matters.

[QUOTE=Schyma;14566120]I like him too. [I]Dharma Bums[/I] and [I]Big Sur[/I] are both fantastic reads. I think I'm going to get [I]Visions of Cody[/I] too, now.

Anyone in here dig Ginsberg?[/quote]

On The Road is his most famous book, so I think I'm going to look into that one next, I'll get more into it over the summer when uni finishes and I stop [I]having [/I]to read.

And Ginsberg is good. He's got a tendancy to lean towards ranting (see; America) but there's alot of emotion in his work.

[QUOTE=Schyma;14566120]Oh, and Surf: I'd like to comment on how much I liked your poem in this week's lyrical challenge, it's crazy good, probably the best piece I've seen posted in here. Kudos on your hard work, it's really long, but you still managed to pull it off very welll. I say it still needs some edits here and there, but otherwise it's a fantastic work. :thumb:[/QUOTE]

Thanks man, its good to know. Gotta spread apparently.

Don't force it. Wait for inspiration.



And most importantly: Why the fu[size=2]c[/size]k has no one told me about Mark Kozelek before?

Howdy all - been a while since I've had time to wander in here. I see we finally have a mod, so good news and all that.

So... 'sup?

nm, we;ve got a mod so we've got nothing left to bitch about. Means we have to talk about writing and stuff.

Ew, writing.

You're telling me, sugar. :naughty:

And I'm not bad - been quite stupidly busy since the turn of the year... only now starting to get back to normal... although don't think it'll be long before I move out, which will be even more chaos.

And remember, we can still always bitch about how this place isn't as good as it used to be.

This place just isn't as good as it used to be :(

Orlando made a dirty joke. I'm telling.

what where

Anyway...

RIght so I need to do some packing, but I don't want to.

I'll do some small crits now, and dot some others. I'll get em when I've unpacked my stuff in uni, should be tomorrow, if not monday.

Good. I ate salad. today

So yeah, I'm currently reading Gustave Flaubert's 'Madame Bovary'. Apparently it took the guy 5 years to make it and he would hole himself up in his home for a good 16 hours a day on his work.

That's just insane.
