  2. hrrrthrrr: “We don’t even belong to each other.” by Brent Schoepf At the beginning of Capote’s novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the narrator returns to an old watering hole to meet Joe Bell, who, many years ago, shared his infatuation with Holly Golightly. Among other vague pieces of news he recounts to the narrator, Joe furnishes a photo taken in an African jungle. In it, a young native is holding up a sculpture in the likeness of Holly. This makes me think of that. Audrey Hepburn is best remembered as a gentle and perpetually refined creature, but in the character of Holly Golightly she is both fragile and wild. Holly has always been my favourite Audrey role.

  3. Choosing bad is your only shot at achieving greatness. And resisting it is a recipe for mediocrity.

  4. Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.

  8. nprfreshair: Woody Allen: The Fresh Air Interview: “In the problems of movie making, if you don’t solve your problem, all that happens to you is that your movie bombs. So the movie is terrible. So people don’t come to see it … This is hardly a terrible punishment compared to what you’re given out in the real world of human existence.”

  9. 1. Learn to live frugally and don’t get into debt.
    2. Write what you want, not what you think “the market” wants.
    3. Turn off the television.
    4. Don’t major in Creative Writing in college. Chances are it will drain the life out of your creativity.
    5. Never, ever criticize yourself during a first draft.
    6. Have the courage to revise your work.
    7. Read every night before you go to sleep.
    8. Do not pressure yourself by saying “I have to get this published by the time I am 20 (or 30, or 40, or 80, etc.)
    9. Write the story in your heart.
    10. Pay attention to William Faulkner’s wise words. He said “Don’t be ‘a writer.’ Be writing.

  10. theavc: Netflix is basically giving up on DVDs, with their CEO saying, “We expect DVD subscribers to decline each quarter forever.” And while declining forever might seem like Netflix’s whole strategy, it’s not really something to base a business on.
