garrulous complaints

god i’m such a sponge. i just started reading affliction, apparently it’s a nick nolte movie. don’t tell me anything about it please but anyway already i love it. russell banks is the best writer. so funny concise and a sentence just spills unto itself kind of like how i write like by the end of the breath you’re like all that shit at the beginning of the sentence finally makes sense thank fucking god, like that but except way way more tight.

so far i liked how he spoke about all the smart people leaving this town in new hampshire (every single woodsy book ever takes place somewhere in new england, russell banks and steven king must be soul brothers) which can be applied to every single small town anywhere. the smart talented ones leave and the dumb ones get left behind, abandoned. so then you have this village, quite literally, of idiots. hey don’t get mad at me i’m just the re-messenger here but anyway, all the organized ones are long gone so the rest don’t even know how to string together a semblance of community. i kind of want to go to there (inside melodie joke) you know? i like the broken down and dysfunctional. i am drawn to it.

ok salad time, i only wanted to say hi about shitty towns who only have names for themselves or thrive cos they’re on the way to somewhere better. how sad is that? and beautiful. now i feel like a road trip.

that’s all, nothing more, or less.

i am gearing up to start writing 10,000 words a day again for my book is what this means i guess.
