This includes my work. Steal my work if you want to.

Pirate everything. Fuck an “intellectual property.”

Big assumption that I’m still carrying my phone around

Cancel Spotify and get an old beat up iPod

mail surprise!!! can’t wait to read @nyxfears.bsky.social

Found out that my books are all available on book piracy sites and honestly, hell yeah. Everyone feel free to download my shit for free if you can, the world is expensive and I’m just happy y’all are reading me!

YES

I also cancelled all streaming services. Fuck all that I’m done

I got a Wii today for $30 and I turned it on and it spit out a Twilight Princess disc upside down.

People talk about reading as if it’s hard

Watch video essays and grow dumber

Romance be like

Lmao. Basically pay attention. So true.

I feel like as soon as I started reading constantly, I started hating movies lol

Every film analyst: did you notice this?

Yes I watched the same series of images as you.

You don’t need to be a genius to watch movies. You literally watch them and that’s all. No brain required.

Coming out as a dialectical idealist

New Damn Years Wherein I naval-gaze about my personal discoveries and try to make some sort of grander point about awakening in general.

Wrote my new years article in which we have hope and shall create light in darkness.

Let’s hope intellectuals get less cooked next year. Maybe start seeing past their nose and whatnot

Learning the form is excellent and imperative. However that form is best taught through the literary canon and rarely the intelligentsia. Profundities frequently pour out of creatives.

In truth, when you notice and observe this circularity and how it works and touches every aspect of our collective unconscious, you might finally find your own way out of it. It starts with removing the pollution the industry has left on your soul.

More essential here is that such experts are bureaucrats and bureaucrats are mediocre at everything except for creating idiot systems of control where bureaucrats are necessary to manage the system. This is why no one can give you meaningful advice on any subject.

All things in life serve the ultimate purpose of distracting you from expressing yourself truly and honestly right now (at any given time). Consider how often you learn more about your craft or art then feel stupid and intimidated, unable to create.

Next time someone makes a polite suggestion about your work or your process, ignore them completely and do whatever feels right to you. I promise this methodology will get you better results than hearing some asshole go on a diatribe about the English language.

Every time I go online and watch some writing expert talk about the process, I just roll my eyes back into my skull. Experts help no one.

It would seem that the experts have no ground left to stand on.

Some favorites from the year

When I write I feel excessively human.

I love to write

Hi, I’m my own absent-mindedness
