Once upon a time, literary authors lived upstairs from urban coffee shops and stayed far away from other human beings. They didn’t eat and they didn’t sleep, they drank insane amounts of coffee and alcohol, smoked their lungs to shreds, and got no exercise whatsoever. They slept on piles of journals and notebooks, typed their work on old-style typewriters and set hundreds of unfinished pages on fire in their fireplaces.
I remember Wallace Stevens in "Description without a place". He wrote: "It is possible that to seem it is to be, as the sun is something seeming and it is. The sun is an example. What it seems it is and in such seeming all things are". But I would personally add to this: only the sun is what it seems.
I subscribed to your substack. Would you subscribe to my substack since you read French it seems, and it is in French ? Il y a là de l'ironie qui pourrait vous plaire... Cheers, Frédéric.
Ah yes. I love this Birgitte! To write IS human. Let's keep it that way.
Wholeheartedly so Jim!
Hum, this is a good hook, this "There is one thing people are overlooking in the great Will AI Kill Human Creativity debate." Am curious...
Bonjour Frédéric et bienvenu! The answer is right there in the last word of your comment :)
