Joyelle McSweeney: "On Writing After Death" "What would be Death Styles? Death Styles would not be a what but a way. Remembering Kathy Acker’s maxim—'If it can’t be done, but it must be done, then it will be done, by magic'—I set myself three (magic) rules: 1) I had to write daily 2) I had to accept any inspiration that came to me, however unlikely and 3) I had to write until the inspiration was totally exhausted." via LITHUB |
