TheSolidWallOfWriting
AKA: You can’t write like Dostoevsky if you only use Emojis.
Read Me:
If I had to hang my hat on these pages being about anything then it’s about writing. It began life as a collection of writings, essays, journalism and fiction. I had the audacity to think that people will want to read “well written” work, regardless of the topic.
“If it’s good people will read it.” That was my starting point.
Everytime I tried to explain to people that my idea was to have a collection of short stories, journalism and opinion pieces it seemed like I was pitching some sort of radical idea that could never work.
Even people nearest and dearest to me said that “Good Writing” isn’t really something people are looking for. It’s got to be about something.”
Any attempt to reinvent journals or newspapers may well be doomed. But bludgoning on regardless, I’ll write, even if I’m writing to the wind, shouting at the void and lost in cyberspace.
Read on. Read me. Pick and choose. I totally get it if a ten thousand word essay on writing isn’t your thing. If that’s the case then go read the sections on music, or film or gaming.
Pick a section and go read.
Also. As a disclaimer: I have nothing against Emojis and would, without hesitation, attempt to recreate all of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment in Emojis, if only I had the talent.
Yes. Of course it’s Fyodor Dostoevsky’s writing desk from that time I visited his house in Saint Petersburg. Why would you even ask?
