Eeeek! My suspension of disbelief is failing
Eeeek!
My suspension of disbelief is failing. It's a fucking nightmare. I see the strings on Superman. Every plot idiocy goes clunk.
Cliched lines torment me. My dreams are re-hashes of old plots.
It's come to this.
I'm going to have to create something. [shudders]

I've never
read a poem about seeing the lines which suspend belief. Why not try that?

Coleridge?
I did not know that. I believe. There are no strings on you.

thank you my dear,
you know the best part? I don't have to try.
I have perfected a lifestyle of indulgence, laziness and pleasure.
I write what I want, when I want to, work when I want to, indulge whatever I can afford.
Life is beautiful.
cheers,
Jess
