Have you heard this before?

So, I recently saw this video and felt it must be shared as much as possible. Some genius at work, this.

When I share this, instead of looking at what can be done with the relics of Technology, people start wondering if the Imperial March is 'really that simple'.

For you lot, I present this.

Didn't listen to it on Headphones? Tsk Tsk.

Charles Bukowski on writing

As I am fretting over why I don't seem to be writing all the time, I was looking up how actual writers write. Accidentally, I chanced upon someone sharing a note on Charles Bukowski where I saw this.

I never type in the morning. I don’t get up in the morning. I drink at night. I try to stay in bed until twelve o’clock, that’s noon. Usually, if I have to get up earlier, I don’t feel good all day. I look, if it says twelve, then I get up and my day begins. I eat something, and then I usually run right up to the race track after I wake up. I bet the horses, then I come back and Linda cooks something and we talk awhile, we eat, and we have a few drinks, and then I go upstairs with a couple of bottles and I type — starting around nine-thirty and going until one-thirty, to, two-thirty at night. And that’s it.

- Charles Bukowski

I feel better already, though it's Chocolate or Chips instead of bottles and Candy Crush and Clash of Clans instead of horse races.

I also landed on this awesome work.

"...
don’t be like so many writers,
don’t be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don’t be dull and boring and
pretentious, don’t be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don’t add to that.
don’t do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don’t do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don’t do it.
when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was."
- Charles Bukowski, From "So you want to be a writer".

True Story.
Cheers.
