Some bad poetry I wrote, "So bless the Earth and kiss the sky and let the River be your guide." I must've been listening to too much Hendrix.

High point: that published, known writer admitting he was a really bad writer, once. Certainly inspires and comforts.

I'm writing a new, Ulysses-styled story. I just realize it's the worst writing ever. Goddamn it.

0:23 to 0:48 of this video are extremely deadening -- you probably lose half your viewers right there. The back end is good. Looks like a fun movie.

@paperbacknovel You know, you're probably right. But if someone can't stand 20 seconds of a guy trying to figure out an intercom, then they're probably not going to be interested in a documentary about creative writing.
