No Regrets
May 8, 2012
There is an incredibly poignant piece in the Guardian on the top five regrets of the dying. It is so easy to get caught up in busy-ness and think: “I’ll be happy tomorrow, I’ll talk to my friend tomorrow, I’ll make time for myself tomorrow, I’ll start following my dream tomorrow.” No, no, no. Think… [Read more…]
Creative Facebook – Who Will You Be?
May 2, 2012
Why be content with being your ideal self in just two-dimensions? Take a good, long look at how you project yourself on Facebook then figure out how you can become that in real life. Ultimately, Facebook is a tool. Use it to build a persona, or use it to become more of a person.
Excerpts On Writing – Hemingway’s Boat Response
March 18, 2012
The writing is a sustained, beautiful sleight-of-hand peppered with parenthetical rabbits popping out of hats. The delicate, ruthless details (asking the fading old man to disinter his dead wife's wedding dress), the moments of private meditation
Don’t Be Cool

Recommended Reading – Novels
January 19, 2012

Her list of suggested reading is unfamiliar, apart from… [Read more…]
Kurt Vonnegut on Creativity
January 10, 2012
The quote below is an excerpt from A Man Without A Country — a diamond of a book by the inimitable Kurt Vonnegut. To be as wise, incensed and articulate as Vonnegut is here (age 83) is surely one definition of success. If you want to really hurt your parents, and you don’t have the… [Read more…]

What Are You Writing For?
April 18, 2010
Posted by Cila Warncke This is one of my favourite Bill Hicks clips. I love the way his face conveys astonishment, scorn, outrage, and despair all bundled together so seamless-awkwardly it can’t help being hilarious. He doesn’t have to clap hand to forehead; the words make the motion for him. “What are you reading for?”… [Read more…]
Vincent Van Gogh on Ambition and Impotence
January 5, 2010
Posted by Cila Warncke According to the worthy Ziem, man becomes ambitious as soon as he becomes impotent. It’s pretty much all one to me whether I am impotent or not [but] I’m damned if that’s going to drive me to ambition. — Vincent Van Gogh There are two kinds of ambition. The obvious, socially-approved… [Read more…]
