great writing advice. one of my fave Sublime collections I keep private does just this and I call it “phrases”
a writer is quite simply someone who does not know how to navigate this world without putting pen to paper, someone who is preoccupied with words and sentences and story
The most important advantage of writing is that it helps us confront ourselves when we do not understand something as well as we would like to believe.
"Redemption comes from a character who has incurred a moral debt through their actions then making good on that moral debt by performing some deed or service or act of heroism that will ameliorate the bad. That seems simple enough. But in the arid secular plains of modernity and its accompanying moral relativism, what is even good? What is even bad? How can there be redemption in the absence of a functioning moral schema?"
I used to feel that everything had been said already. But the more I write, the more I feel that there is so much left to be said.
"It's death to try to chase the culture. Be true to quality. Be true to your own values. There are people who are hungry for something more substantive."
