There's no mobility in a job like court wizard, regulations and whatever they're never going to promote you. Quit and become an evil warlock and terrorise the townsfolk.

“while skiing one january in the lamar valley of yellowstone park, i found this story written in the snow.  a meadow vole was hopping on the surface of the snow eating grass seeds he found there. after he had been traveling for several hundred yards, he made a left turn and a hawk caught him, picked him up and flew away.  the tail feathers and wing prints of the bird were left to plainly illustrate the brief life and death event.”  – tom murphy

All that silence. #pascalcampion

There is no joy like the joy of a writer who has just figured out that a throwaway line they put into the first few paragraphs of a story is actually the key to a major plot point and possibly even the theme underlying the entire thing.

Just…yesssssss.

Thinking a lot about how people have liked to meme on late-life Johnny Cash for “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” and his “Hurt” cover but man, I think his last few years were amazing. He was a man who was always on the right side of things, pro-union, anti-prison, and then at the end of his life he just got weird and apocalyptic, looking back on his own life and staring death in the face. That shit rules. He went out with dignity, which can be said about a lot of people, but more than that, he went out with ambition. “You can have it all, my empire of dirt” sounds melodramatic coming from 29 year old Trent Reznor singing about drugs, but coming from a 70 year old man who was one of the faces of his entire goddamn genre, who had fought for change his entire life and never seen any real progress? That’s fucking devastating.
