People Tend To Be Scared Of What

It Turns Out That My Memory Is Just Not That Great, So For Specific Scenes With People Doing Stuff, Sometimes I'd Have The Details All Wrong Or I Couldn't Remember What Happened Exactly, So I Just Let That Be.

Have I Mentioned That I Expect Death Around Every Turn, That Every Blue Sky Has A Safe Sailing Out Of It, That Every Bus Runs Me Over, That Every Low, Mean Syllable Uttered In My Direction Seems To Intimate The Violence Of Murder, That Every Family Seems Like An Opportunity For Ruin And Every Marriage A Ceremony Into Which Calamity Will Fall And Hearts Will Be Broken And Lives Destroyed And People Branded By The Mortifications Of Love?

I Do Think That Just About Whenever I Am Writing, Or More Accurately, Whenever I Have Written, I Feel Better And More At Peace As A Human Being. That Doesn't Mean, Unfortunately, That The Literary Product Is Any Good.

If I'm Going To Feel Estranged And Alienated And Away From Home I Don't Want Anyone Interrupting It To Debate Which Berries To Have In Their Pancakes.

I'm Trying To Read More Dead People Because I Keep Having To Read Stuff For Juries And So Forth.
