More optimization. The HoR pages are pretty image-heavy, but we're doing our best!

"An observer of all things," hm? I've begun to feel similarly in these past years. I thought my life's purpose was to pursue happiness, but that is often unattainable to me, so now I see my life as a catalog of expereiences; good & bad, I just want to feel, to experience & observe. I understand what you're saying & see nothing sad about it.

I think you're right that writing comes from loneliness. Writing is just talking to ourselves at the end of the day. I wonder if I'd have started writing if I'd had a many friends growing up? Anyways, pleasure to read.

@vashti I don't really see anything sad about it either, but i find it interesting how people interact with what i say or do, especially if i don't really get where they're coming from, like in the case of that teacher. I'm glad you relate, you put it very well! I've always said my ultimate dream is being human, which means to observe and feel in earnest and experience [x]

i loved every second i was reading your first response to the writing club prompt. writing as an extension of thought and wanting to think of something new is something i can relate to all too well. the mundane is so hard to write about, but i'm glad to find someone who finds beauty in it, the inherent surrealism of day-to-day life, especially in this day and age.

a quote i really resonated with was this: "one yearns for a new kind of pain, new kinds of ambiguities, that force the mind to confront other possibilities." sometimes, other people succintly put into words an idea you had no clue on how to capture. i really enjoyed your insight- and your commentary on mou tun-fei intrigues me. i never really thought about creation through abstract theory, but it sounds magical.

creation on the foundation of interpretation and original thought- i think it ties everything together well. writing as a conduit for understanding the workings of one's mind and ideas. thank you for sharing. i feel seen through you. ♥ can't wait to see your response next week!

Thank you so much for reading! When I wrote that yesterday, I had just finished Kazushi Hosaka's "Plainsong", which has character he mentions that as a kid he wanted to be a novelist, but that he gave up on it to become a filmmaker because writing always has to be about something, whereas when making a film you can just turn the camera on when talking to friends and let it captures what it captures.

saddleblasters 7 months ago

The paradox was that Hosaka's novel somehow also manages to feel like a camera dropped into the lives of its characters, capturing glances at their daily routines and snippets of their conversations without making it about anything. Seeing him so successful at it makes me wish I could be a camera — some kind of psychological camera, that captures more than just light, that somehow meditates without judging.

saddleblasters 7 months ago

I read your response as well, and you mention that your writing has shifted from fantasies about other lives to more directly confronting reality. But I don’t think there needs to be a conflict between the two. I think that in recording and contemplating our reality, we can still meditate on our fantasies and why they exist inside of us. The contrast between fantasy and reality can allow us to look at both closer.

This is one of those things that we could both spend thousands of words writing about, so I’ll leave at that for now. Anyways, it just passed midnight here. I’m not sure what time zone you’re in, but happy new year!

Nothing too exciting today; going to be editing a lot of pages to replace some unweildy PNGs we forgot about (the fancy florals in the background of the main text) with JPGs for better loading. Getting the hang of website optimization!

voted :) i do have a question! i've been wondering how the options for the poll get chosen in the first place? there's no info about that on the site, so i've been thinking members could perhaps submit a title or two each to create a "book bank" of sorts and then choose the options randomly?

Maple & I go through our TBR lists & we choose from there. Maple & I thought about that idea, but we don't want to end up reading a book that neither of us like, hence the current system.

i get that! respectfully though, now that there are more members in the club, it doesn’t seem fair to me that the options cater to the preferences of only two people. I may be alone in this (and btw this has nothing to do with the quality of the books, all the options so far have been excellent imo), and it’s your call anyway, but I felt I had to say something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
