Oh wow. This: Don’t you remember the story, now? The one about the beautiful singer who strutted into a river, singing, and drowned? And it was you.

Wow!! Thank you so much Stanchion, and congrats to all the nominees!

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.
