August 1, 2010 - Earlier today, Mary threw some major words of wisdom my way regarding writing, saying how important it is to get thoughts/ideas down without being distracted by form. I'm like to add one more thought to that, as a reminder for my own benefit. From the Barry Hannah Wikipedia entry:
Those that don't avert their
eyes are the real artists. It is
concentration, that's what Dostoevsky
said. Concentration is what the
artist is about: he can look, and
look, and look, and look. He carries
no brief. He will tell you everything
he sees. This sensibility will
overcome every tendency to capsulize
or moralize or philosophize; it
is why, despite the themes and
philosophy announced in behalf of
an author by others, the actual art
experience is much more whole.

May 23, 2010 - I could go on and on, here (and probably will at times), but after decades of blabbing away into text buffers as though others could possibly be interested, I've finally settled on the notion that there are far more authors than readers, and they're mostly just looking for things to blab about, and they instinctively realize that most readers are too unsophisticated to digest too much verbiage. So they're probably looking for tunes and videos instead of incessant blabbing. So it makes sense to try to keep this place mostly links to such. |
