There’s way too much bullshit out there; too many half-assed assertions, uninteresting observations, long, tedious fiction tomes and an endless supply of shitty photo blogs. Being able to point a camera at something and snapping a photo doesn’t automatically make you an artist, and no nobody cares about your stupid link dump with a clever name. If it took you 5 minutes to make, it’ll probably take me half as long times zero seconds to lose interest. If half these dick holes stopped flooding the Internet with so much shitty content, it wouldn’t be so hard for genuinely talented up-and-comers to get noticed.
Maddox, on why he now updates his website so rarely. Though many of the writers I read and respect offer a different sentiment - “Just write, get better, keep writing, keep getting better. It’s the only thing you can control.” - he does have a point. I’ve realized that this blog has fallen into a bizarre purgatory as of late: too few updates to be characterized as excess, but not enough to warrant my claim of “I enjoy writing.” So I’ll be updating a little more, but not to the point that I can be categorized as one of said dick holes.
