Why I Write
Here is a tweet I posted recently, after watching the documentary Once Upon a Time in Iraq:
Dear Mr. Blair, I don’t care what you believe. I don’t care if you believe you did the right thing. What you believe does not matter. It does not matter if you believe you did the right thing. You are a war criminal. You were a war criminal then and you are a war criminal now.

“Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.”

“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”

“They’d been told, several times, by colleagues … that the sea was warmer over there [abroad], and the skies bluer, and the food was like nothing you could buy in London no matter how much you spent. But none of those colleagues had done what Tony had wanted to do when he got back: grab people by the lapels and shout at them, wide-eyed, until they agreed to book tickets. Most people in England, he thought, had no idea that within a few hours they could be somewhere that would make them begrudge every single second they’d ever spent in Hastings or Shegness or the Lake District.”

Thank you for the invite. I am happy to be your friend. I just finished a book from a writer who is teaching in Dublin.

Thank you for the invitation. I liked "American Dirt." It is so well written, a sad story about people driven from their homes. The book is fiction, but so true to life.
Thx for your friend request, Adrian. You shall be welcome in my library. Brgds Jacob
