XXVII. If I'm not in my body, then where am I? - Greta Gerwig
what ive learnt from watching 141 films and reading 95 books this year
no matter how entertaining the film, or how much you will look forward to watching something, there will always be the feeling of a drag
even if you make a promise to yourself to stop buying books until you’ve finished your unfinished 600+, you won’t be able to keep it
it’s okay to watch things just to watch things, from a modern piece of cinematic art to a ‘predictive’ piece of 1950’s science fiction
this is the first year that i’ve dnf’d books, mostly ones i’ve had to read for work, and while it might be demoralising to have books of that quality to be published, persevere with your writing
you don’t have to write everything right away, but make sure to keep notes about what you want to write about, otherwise you’ll have to think of some complete nonsense for a film you checked out of completely about 10 minutes in
even if everyone else likes it, you don’t have to
there will be absolutely torrid days. they will pass.
there will be days without compare. these too will pass
sometimes all you have to do is to keep existing and let other people worry about the world for a while.
It will pass and it will get better and your books will get published!!! I have cottage faith!!!
