a quote i really resonated with was this: "one yearns for a new kind of pain, new kinds of ambiguities, that force the mind to confront other possibilities." sometimes, other people succintly put into words an idea you had no clue on how to capture. i really enjoyed your insight- and your commentary on mou tun-fei intrigues me. i never really thought about creation through abstract theory, but it sounds magical.
creation on the foundation of interpretation and original thought- i think it ties everything together well. writing as a conduit for understanding the workings of one's mind and ideas. thank you for sharing. i feel seen through you. ♥ can't wait to see your response next week!
Thank you so much for reading! When I wrote that yesterday, I had just finished Kazushi Hosaka's "Plainsong", which has character he mentions that as a kid he wanted to be a novelist, but that he gave up on it to become a filmmaker because writing always has to be about something, whereas when making a film you can just turn the camera on when talking to friends and let it captures what it captures.
The paradox was that Hosaka's novel somehow also manages to feel like a camera dropped into the lives of its characters, capturing glances at their daily routines and snippets of their conversations without making it about anything. Seeing him so successful at it makes me wish I could be a camera — some kind of psychological camera, that captures more than just light, that somehow meditates without judging.
I read your response as well, and you mention that your writing has shifted from fantasies about other lives to more directly confronting reality. But I don’t think there needs to be a conflict between the two. I think that in recording and contemplating our reality, we can still meditate on our fantasies and why they exist inside of us. The contrast between fantasy and reality can allow us to look at both closer.
This is one of those things that we could both spend thousands of words writing about, so I’ll leave at that for now. Anyways, it just passed midnight here. I’m not sure what time zone you’re in, but happy new year!
two new quiz results and three new picrews! also added "drive your plow..." to favorite books and changed my age (oh the passage of time)
happy birthday!!! i hope you feel better soon, being sick on birthdays is the worst
AHHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! So sorry to hear that you're sick! Hopefully you get better soon and celebrate in the way that you deserve! ;o; ٩(◕‿◕。)۶
Happy birthday!! Hope you feel better soon & have fabulous next year of life :)
Happy birthday! Hopefully you can celebrate when you're feeling better🎉
Nothing too exciting today; going to be editing a lot of pages to replace some unweildy PNGs we forgot about (the fancy florals in the background of the main text) with JPGs for better loading. Getting the hang of website optimization!
voted :) i do have a question! i've been wondering how the options for the poll get chosen in the first place? there's no info about that on the site, so i've been thinking members could perhaps submit a title or two each to create a "book bank" of sorts and then choose the options randomly?
Maple & I go through our TBR lists & we choose from there. Maple & I thought about that idea, but we don't want to end up reading a book that neither of us like, hence the current system.
i get that! respectfully though, now that there are more members in the club, it doesn’t seem fair to me that the options cater to the preferences of only two people. I may be alone in this (and btw this has nothing to do with the quality of the books, all the options so far have been excellent imo), and it’s your call anyway, but I felt I had to say something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
wtf how am i supposed to pick ONLY two of these? these sound so epic
it was so hard to choose hehe!!! love all the books you guys gave as choices though
I have a button at the bottom of my homepage: https://saddleblasters.neocities.org
your response is so wonderful ! i definitely agree that writing is so important as communication and a mode of understanding, and i loved hearing what you had to say abt it :] adding you to the members page now !
Thank you so much for reading, and thanks for coming up with this club. It's a really nice way to connect people
We're going to move our plurality stuff to our side site eventually (the-novelry), so it's not going away! It's just getting moved. And the rest of the charm of the site should remain as-is. Not going to remove the royal "we," just gonna have a different explanation for it.
We're happy to give her our books. Just not the information that we're plural.
A lot of stuff is going to be hidden until we can transfer it into the side side. Do not panic. (Said while panicking, admittedly.)
I understand that, if I knew one of my parents was gonna look at my website Id remove stuff too ^^;
Be good to yourselves, I understand you wanna keep yourselves safe. (and I understand if this comment needs to go later)
hi yall dont know me but hi im chip and i hope yall are doing well. you all are really cool. your books are epic too!! from what ive heard lol
I'm really sorry you have to do that to feel safe. :( Sending hugs & well-wishes
