An evening like no other.

An evening like no other. A completely worthless evening. At least my sickness hasn’t worsened. No sudden rise in body temperature. The weakness is still there. Maybe reading a little Dostoyevsky will make me feel better. Notes from the Underground. Started reading it a year and a half ago. I am a terrible reader. A bad fucking reader. I love to buy books and I hate to actually read them. And I buy only gems. I haven’t bought a single bad book in a life, except for a couple of times from Instagram fucking trash poets. Fucking trash poets! Not all but most of them. Just fucking trash. Can’t write a fucking simple sentence, and they write boring shit. It’s all fucking boring nonsense there these days. I have found WordPress to be a much better platform for sharing writing and finding other meaningful writers. I haven’t found many, here or there, but this place beats Instagram by any standard. Now, off to drinking hot bitter coffee. I can’t even make coffee right these days. FUCK!

    Entertaining similar thoughts, strangely enough. I had to quit a short story anthology ARC this week because I just couldn’t take it anymore. I’m nothing special as a writer but, Christ… If I can’t find something positive to say half way through your anthology, what’s the point of finishing?

    Hope your Dostoevsky satisfies. The mention of him reminds me I should probably finally get around to filling that void in my reading experiences although Mervyn Peake is on my radar at the moment. Undecided about that one, though.

      Dostoyevsky has never been not satisfying. We are nowhere close to him as writers. We will never be. But he is a figure I would rather look up to.

    I found a lot of myself in Dostoevsky. Sometime uncomfortably so. Stick with it. Is ‘The Dream of a Ridiculous Man’ in your copy of Notes from Underground too? It’s even better.
