You've just made me wonder, should the word "quixotic" be pronounced kee-ho-tik?

Maybe it's meant to be a compliment, like, "Noice skating!"

Dang, you beat me to it. 😆

So THAT'S why they don't call him Adult Rock.

Maybe my work will go utterly unnoticed, but I aim to die fighting. I wish to touch another's heart before my time is up. Science fiction novels seem like just as good a medium to do so as any other. Sorry to say I won't be underpricing my books, though. Bring cash.

Thank you.

Sometimes I start crying when I imagine someone hearing the silent scream that's been emanating from me since I held a knife to my neck as a nine year-old. My work is forged in the fires of thirty-five years of pained pleading. Rather than be undone, I create.

I'm extremely skeptical of the so-called "male loneliness epidemic," but I do happen to be a male who is lonely. I'm too poor to own a car, I work until very late, and when it comes to dating, being demisexual does not make finding a partner any easier. I'm Trapped.

Writing brings hope, however.

Will anyone read or pay me for my writing? I have no idea. It hardly seems to matter. In writing, I'm able to hold incredibly satisfying conversations with the world, the ghosts of great souls, and myself. I can ask myself the questions I'd wished others had.

Writing was my one productive desire which was both consistent and intrinsic. It really sucks when everything in life is extrinsic, so I became quite fond of writing over time.

I've always been unambitious. What does it matter if I do anything or not? Why shouldn't I just play Xenogears, eat mozzarella sticks, and wait to die? If this world cannot love me, why should I cooperate?

After completing my BA, I carried out thousands of hours of independent writing education and wrote tens of thousands of pages in practice. That's not especially remarkable, except for that I spent most of that time in a suicidal frame of mind, barely able to hold on to any other area of life.

I'm hitting the block button like John Henry over here.
