Heart-mysteries there, and yet when all is said It was the dream itself enchanted me ("The Circus Animal's Desertion") ↗

#dreams

It is the most fun I’m ever going to have. I love to write. I love it. I mean, there’s nothing in the world I like better, and that includes sex, probably because I’m so very bad at it.

— Joss Whedon

— Paul Karl Feyerabend

Who’s to say what a ‘literary life’ is? As long as you are writing often, and writing well, you don’t need to be hanging-out in libraries all the time. Nightclubs are great literary research centers. So is Ibiza! ↗
