I read this in grade 11 for my creative writing class and it shifted something in my prefrontal cortex. I love movies and want to make them but writing will always be my first and one true love. This piece will always remind me of that.

Fantastic! Hadn't encountered that before.
Just now read it instead of doing what I should have been doing: writing.

Just read Writing by Marguerite Duras in one go which is often either a sign of my mental health going haywire or a book being so tantalizingly real and/or inspiring that time goes out the window and I am hooked into every word like a calf to a teat in search of protein I was especially drawn into these reflections about writing a book and what it means to a be a writer A contradiction that is both of the world and seperate from it that is a witness and being witnessed constantly in two phases Highly recommend for writers and readers that love reading writing about writing

"One of the most common and saddest spectacles is that of a person of really fine sensibility and acute psychological perception trying to write fiction by these qualities alone. This type of writer will put down one intensely emotional or keenly perceptive sentence after the other, and the result will be complete dullness. The facts is that the materials of the fiction writer are the humblest. Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn't try to write fiction. It's not a grand enough job for you."

This movie took me a little bit to get into, but I’m chalking that up to its less than ideal English dub, therefore I suggest you watch it in the original Japanese version with subtitles. Very visually beautiful movie with a very creative concept, it’s made by the same creators of Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers just so you know what to expect.

I was a hardcore Yerba mate hater until I tried the Guayaki “Enlighten Mint” flavour. I still think the majority of Yerba mate is gross but I will continue to drink them in massive quantities.

This is one of my favourite photography series done by Josè G. Martinez. I’m usually not a fan of animal portraiture but something about these photos in particular are so creative to me.
