When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

The best way to wrap your head around the âitâs all a distraction thingâ is Nemikâs 40 atrocities speech from Andor. Itâs not âjust a distractionâ, itâs that each atrocity distracts from all the other atrocities.
