No importa el dinero que tengas en el banco. No eres tu trabajo. No eres tu familia, y no eres quien te dices que eres.

No eres tu nombre.

Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now?

Haunted and Invisible Monsters go hand-in-hand, to me.

you're not how much money you've got in the bank

you're not your job

you're not your family, and you're not who you tell yourself

you're not your name

you're not your problems

This is just any Chuck Palahniuk novel

I learned that armand owns an island in florida so I made this

[punksdontgetold]

wake up babes, a new litarary scale just dropped!

yes, I just came up with this on my own and I call it...

The Flaubert/Palahniuk Scale

It’s like the Kinsey scale, but for prose lol

On one side, we’ve got Flaubert, the dude that set out to write “a book about nothing” that would still be the most beautifully written prose ever. His sentences are crafted with perfect rhythm, sound, and flow, and his prose sounds like poetry when you read it aloud, at least in French. But also, I was bored out of my mind when reading "Madame Bovary", so there goes my appreciation of the beautiful language I guess lol

On the other side is my boy Chuck Palahniuk. I’m not sure we can call his prose beautiful, but it sure does hit you like a sledgehammer. The first time I felt what kind of emotional punch prose can deliver was when I read his short story "Guts." It doesn’t really have a plot (so I guess it’s similar to Flaubert in that way) but it makes you feel things on a visceral level. The story literally starts with “Inhale” and ends with “Now you can take a good, deep breath. I still have not,” and as you read the final sentences, you realize that you’ve been holding your breath for the duration of the story.

What do you think? Where do you stand? What side of the scale do you prefer reading?

On Episode 63 we come back to a book I never wanted to revisit. But this time I did read the whole thing.

idk this is such an annoying thing to be annoyed about but i’ve seen like. several posts with stills from fight club (1999) or the matrix (1999) with captions like “oh my job is TOO stable. my apartment is TOO nice. oh woe is me i guess i’ll GIVE IT ALL UP TO LIVE IN A SLOP” come on did you actually watch the movie be honest

Who knew it'd be so much work??? (probably everyone)

So wow, injured my right (dominant) hand picking up a 12 pack at the grocery story and I’m starting a new book while advertising my existing works and doing the normal day-to-day stuff. It makes for an interesting week so far. I do have another short story I’m gonna be posting, that will start on Monday of next week. In the meantime, here’s a story I’m super proud of. 🙂 Feel free to give a…

People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.

I finished reading Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk today, and honestly? It may be the I Just Finished It high, but it may be one of my favorite Palahniuk books at the moment. I don't know if it can beat Invisible Monsters, but it's definitely got similar themes, only more optimistic (in my opinion).

Yes, terrible things happen, but sometimes those terrible things — they save you.
