Damnable Cliches

When in vain, talk about how poorly you talk. Really, it'll work.

When in vain, break fourth wall.

When in vain, write about writer's block.

When in vain, make a note of your work's being uninteresting. It will be interesting.


To stand still is to stand in vain. To live without growth is to live in vain. To create with a voice that is not one's own is to create in vain.

It's not narrowness in art that is bad - it's premises for narrowness that can be bad or good.
