That's my reading from the book. The "playing god" interpretation always seemed like a stretch to me.

The problem isn't writing. Writing is a joy.

Writing is also work, even if you're not getting paid for it. Hitting the limits of your physical and mental ability to deal with the world extends to the things that you love to do. Learn when to give yourself a break.

I feel that perhaps I should specify that I only enjoy rewriting history when we're talking about actual time displacement fiction and not everyday rhetoric that implores us to forget the past.

Where else is it going to go?

They got you with those back feet, huh?

Oh, awesome! I've been trying out Manic Panic again, but it fades *so* fast. Have you tried out any of their other colours?

Heads up @bookshelfie.bsky.social

Hm, and if you're young and existing almost anywhere without spending money... that's called loitering.

Thank you so much!

Sounds like they've never seen a Del Toro movie, either

Absolutely! That's a fantastic feeling!!

My brain is caught by the red wheel that one cannot break but can be broken upon and made into an agent of pain, but only really if you neglect the task in front of you, give up, for one is meant to walk the path despite its struggles, because that's what life is until it isn't anymore
