i had come to find out that writing
like any other activity requires preparation
preparation of the mind of course
one should not write with an empty mind
it would be worse than perhaps
trying to lift weights with a starved body
first the writer in question should ask themselves
what mood am i trying to convey here
to the reader
they should fill their mind with whatever they wish
whatever they wish to get out of it
not necessarily what is good but what is true
there is no way in hell that i can write
when i am having a good time
it will cover up the truth and blind me to the big picture
the solution
a little bit of Bukowski
and a handful reality
