There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I’d be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near

Actually I suspect you can skip the first 8 if you just do the last one.

It’s so nice to hear an author say this. I know people who buy into this idea that being an asshole and fucking up your life are requirements for being a writer, but I honestly don’t think it makes you a more interesting person, and definitely not a better writer. You might be an interesting person and/or a good writer in spite of the debauchery and demons, but never because of it.

I like to think such things add spice to your writing.
