writing night battle
Something peculiar has happened. As I write, none of the Republican candidates for Senate has become a public embarrassment. On the contrary: For the first time in a decade, it is the Democratic candidates, not the Republican ones, who are fodder for late-night comics. That the Democrats are committing gaffes and causing scandals at a higher rate than Republicans not only may be decisive in the battle for the Senate. It could signal a change in our politics at large. Matthew Continetti

writing men people
Mythographer was suggested by the man who made my website, actually. I do write a lot about myth and I do feel it's a bit pompous to state it that way, but it does distinguish me from other writers.

writing names people
It seemed to me to be a parable of the exchange of goods, rather Marxist in some ways, in the new world of global forces.

writing thinking profound
I think to the degree writers are serious, there is a greater tendency for them to write to themselves, because they're trying to compose their own thoughts.

I do think people have very profound lives of which they say virtually nothing.

I never sit and fill a journal with lyrics. Most of the time I'm trying to write a feeling, not a story. I'm not necessarily trying to describe the details of a place or event so much as the feeling of the thing. It is a kind of weird alchemy that is elusive until it feels right.
