some cave tales

have you reopened the wound? will you reopen the wound? when will you reopen the wound?

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.

FYI: brokeback mountain is a short story available to read on the new yorker site and as a PDF (only 20 pages!)

I see from the notes that we're all havin a normal one 👍

OK I have to say right now that this is practically my family’s anthem. We would drive around listening to this song, I am not even kidding. We would drive down the road, windows down, with “Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain” blaring. 

To make love to the mountain❤
