Tumblr media
I exist, in the missed steps of your way to self discipline.
In tragedy and inspiration
In broken tradition and consequence satisfaction.
I exist,
despite being stepped over and made to feel inferior.
A moment in time separating stillbirth from abortion
A choice, to be unidentified
Like a work of art that everyone claims to have its rights
Yet no one have the privilege to touch.
I exist, a simple fact that makes those who view the world cursorily uncomfortable;
and I refuse to apologize.
Tumblr media
I exist, somewhere between the lines.
Something they’re not sharp enough to understand
I exist in lost credit cards and offhanded remarks
A puzzle with more pieces than they know where to place, but i can’t be solved with less
they said it’s high maintenance.
Yet I compartmentalize and I exist.
I exist in the journey of searching for answers to questions they never asked.
In never ending childlike wonder
In nameless hours, before tomorrow but not today.
I exist despite lacking confirmation I exist despite stigmatization.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I exist,
In petals that can only smell good when crushed and boiled..
In vivid dreams that we mistake for memories
I exist in idyllic poetry that tastes bitter if not read at the right time
A ripe fruit that’s forbidden
It’s never the right time to taste me but i still am the way you dream to be loved,
even when you know I have potential to be rotten.
More than a desire less than a demand
I can be yours to admire…
I’m not.
But i do, I exist.

A Note on Word Count
—————————————
Raise your hand if you get down on yourself about your word count. 🙋🏻‍♀️
And, it comes with a heaping side of imposter syndrome, right?
I made this list of famous authors and their daily word count to make us all feel better! 💫
———————————————————
100s
James Joyce 90
Tom Wolfe 100-135
Thomas Clayton Wolfe 145
500
Ernest Hemingway 500
Graham Greene 500
Arthur Hailey 500
Carol shields 500
——————————————————-
To put it into perspective, 500 words per day for 60-100 days equates to a 30,000-60,000 word novel. Sometimes even that seems daunting due to work and family but it’s something to strive for. AND first drafts are always shit anyway so just get the words on the page. 💪

Very tempting to just drop the whole 13yearsoflorien project, quit art and writing for like a couple years, get into the daily grind of work, exercise, eat and sleep, then hop back on LL Tumblr only to depress myself because everything I ever knew is gone now

CHRIST | WHO ARE YOU? (Col. 2:6—15)
CHRIST | WHO ARE YOU? (Col. 2:6-15) 'In a way, we are all like carrots. Like orange carrots selectively bred by Dutch farmers, we all, in some way, select what is important in defining who we are and how we express who we are.'
Here’s my longer sermon notes from this morning’s Metro Christian Centre service (dated 18th June 2023), continuing our series in the letter Colossians. You can also catch up with this via MCC’s YouTube channel (just give us time to get the video uploaded). ‘We are proud individuals, living for the city | but the flames couldn’t go much higher | We find gods and religions to paint us with…

You paid some way for everything that was any good. I paid my way into enough things that I liked, so that I had a good time. Either you paid by learning about them, or by experience, or by taking chances, or by money. Enjoying living was learning to get your money's worth and knowing when you had it. You could get your money's worth. The world was a good place to buy in.
from The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

I guess it's time to start moving some content from twt over here! For those who don't know me, I'm a public librarian with a special interest in polar and nautical history, and I love nothing more than connecting readers with good books. I've managed to convert some friends to my way of thinking, and one of them coined the phrase "sad boat books" to describe the types of books that I'm always reading and recommending. Here is my first list of sad boat books-- I can personally vouch for all of them!

Writers are paid less now than they were 50 years ago, for the same work. Ernest Hemingway was paid $1 a word in 1936. That's more than $21 per word in today's dollars. The maximum I was ever paid to write for a glossy magazine in print was $2/word, in 2021. No one (and I really mean no one) in media makes $21/word. That compensation just doesn't exist. You could be the most popular novelist in the world and not make $21/word to report. You could argue that no writer today is as good or popular as Hemingway was at his peak, but no writer today is even making half or a quarter of what he made, and writers only ever get so famous. If someone were paid $5/word in 2022—which is something I have never heard of happening and is a full $2 more than than anyone I know has ever been paid per word—that would be a quarter of what Hemingway was paid. That writer would be able to pay their rent and health insurance premiums and tuck some money away in savings off a standard-issue story per month, but again, that lucky writer does not exist. What this means is that the door a writer could step through to make a career 50 or even 20 years ago, the one opening onto a life where someone who works hard and does well could buy a house on the strength of that work alone, has been slammed shut. That's not because there isn't money to be made in any of these industries, either. Some people are making very good money in these fields, and have been for a long time. They are people who profit off art without actually making it. The reality is that the people with the most money have devised, at every turn, new and more bulletproof ways for them to make and keep more money, and for the people who make things to make less. This is the eternal story of labor and management. Why should any CEO make more than the actresses whose labor and beauty they sell? Why should a second-year management consultant at every major consulting firm make more than every single writer I have ever known? It's not even a question of principle. People buy things: services and products and experiences and feelings. How is it that the creation and provision of those things is valued so little, when it is so essential? It's a rhetorical question. The wealth that exists in this country does not come from making things that people love. People spend money on that, obviously, but they've done that long enough that those industries have had time to optimize for their own preferences. The money that sustains all this is, in enough cases that it is worth noting here, coming from young rich people's even richer parents. It is coming from giant corporations awarding it, whether out of ideological commitment or just force of habit, to people who sit behind desks all day. Some of those people might also make art, but they are not the norm. The structure built around these valuable creative products is bloated in ways that starve and imperil that creative process, but those privations also hold it in place. Baseball executives, when they are talking about the same sort of thing, like to use the phrase "cost certainty."
The Money Is In All The Wrong Places

“The farthing… has vanished”
Remember that line from the Nazi Zombie Flesheaters minisode? Sick and twisted. And we need to talk about the reason why, even though the magic trick in question is nowhere near as spectacular as the Bullet Catch. Let’s start with a quick recap:
The farthing was a British coin worth one quarter of a penny, discontinued in 1961 due to its plummeting worth. The reverse featured the image of a wren, one of Britain’s smallest songbirds with plumage in rather drab shades of beige and brown. Reminding you of someone?
Tumblr media
A popular design of a sixpence, the bigger coin in this set, minted in the 1920s and 30s depicted oak branches with acorns. Which means that seen from close quarters, so basically Crowley’s perspective, Aziraphale’s vanishing coin trick leaves empty branches with no bird in sight.
Tumblr media
As if that image wasn’t traumatizing enough for almost everyone in the Good Omens fandom post S02E06, the etymology of wren’s name in most European languages refers to royalty in some way. Like a literal king or otherwise supreme bird. That’s why killing a wren or harassing its nest is traditionally associated with bad luck. In certain parts of France it’s still believed that the robbing of a wren’s nest will render the culprit liable to be struck by lightning.
In Irish the wren is called a trickster, which connects to the ancient (as in: mentioned by Aristotle, Aesop, and Pliny) fable on how wren became crowned in the first place — by proving that intellect beats strength:
On one occasion a general assembly of birds resolved to chose for their king that bird which could mount highest into the air. This the eagle apparently did, and all were ready to accept his rule when a loud burst of song was heard, and perched upon the eagle’s back was seen an exultant wren that, a stowaway under its wing, had been carried aloft by the kingly candidate. The trickiness angered the eagle so much, says one tradition, that he struck the wren with his wing, which, since then, has been able to fly no higher than a hawthorn-bush. (Ernest Ingersoll)
In art and folklore this little bird symbolizes rebirth, immortality, protection, and the promise of spring. As a luckbringer it was supposedly present at the stable in Bethlehem when Christ was born; and and Irish proverb runs: “The robin and the wren are God’s two holy men.”
But there’s also a catch. According to legends, it was the flapping of the wings or the song of the wren that betrayed the first Christian martyr, Saint Stephen, while hiding from the mob, and led to his stoning by the Sanhedrin — the highest tribunal consisting of the Head Priest and the Jewish elders.
Tumblr media
That’s why December 26, his remembrance day, is celebrated in the UK and Ireland as Wren Day. Its highlight was a traditional bird hunt, where the wren as king of the birds was hunted and subsequently paraded through the town and rural areas on top of a pole or holly branch, decorated with ribbons and colored paper, as a substitute of the ancient human sacrifice of the Year King for winter solstice. The wren boys still travel from door to door singing, dancing, and playing music, demanding money to “bury the wren”, but fortunately no more animals are harmed in the process.
Tumblr media
With Aziraphale being chosen as the new Supreme Archangel and literally disappearing from the face of the earth in the season finale, his becoming a scapegoat or a sacrifice to a greater, communal goal might be a real possibility when something goes wrong with the Second Coming. The good news is that this level of danger should be enough to get the Ineffable Husbands back on speaking terms.

Hey!
Huge fan, I adore your work. I don’t want to be weird and gush about what your words mean to me though, so I’ll just do this:
According to the Sotheby’s site, your first editions are worth more than Ernest Hemingway’s! What are your thoughts on that?
Tumblr media
Fortunately, it isn't the first edition of Neverwhere generally that costs that, but only the one specific copy of Neverwhere that they have for auction -- it's been specially bound by an award-winning bookbinder and took its own awards for glorious coolness I'm bookbindery:
