from a friend - leaving our flickr - The Finest.:
Hey Bill. Yes, (extant) and happy you are too. Just rearranged priorities is all. Much more writing and reading, entering contests to get books out, etc. I just finished reading The Vegetarian by Han Kang. Can't recommend that novel strongly enough! Future Nobel laureate, for sure. What a subtle way to foreground animal rights in the literary discourse, turn it into an ostensibly "erotic" novel, a woman after my heart! Spending more money on books than film but happy to find a little Konica I love at the thrift store down the street for twelve bucks. Have realized that bipolar disorder is not the full extent of my diagnosis and am exploring another side of my lifelong difference (within a world of differences) and hope to turn this to a written analysis (sickly Entwicklungsroman type stuff). Flickr I put on the back burner since so many people whose work I have given regular attention to (honestly intended, because I think everyone here I follow is truly fabulous) seemed not to care that I was here one whit. So tra la. World's smallest violin crashes to earth and I stub it out under my cheap shoes. There is fabulousness elsewhere...everywhere, in fact. I think even the Bible knew that. I do Instagram now. I have almost as many followers there as here, should soon pass that number and those people are actually online every day and respond. So I leave here with no guilt, no bitterness, knowing most people on here got more attention than they gave-- present company definitely excepted on that! Thank you so much for your thousand kindnesses on here....it has truly meant a lot and I always praise you when given the chance...or when not given the chance. The praise is actually distinct from the gratitude or amour-propre side of things. It's praise for the artist, apart from the friend. As WCW said after the stroke to a friend on the phone (straining for the words that were now mangled): "You have made a record in my heart."
