A cup of Calm and a spoon of Determination

Dato che il Tempo esiste da molto tempo, spesso si annoia. Al fine di scacciare brevemente la sua noia, ogni tanto il Tempo si diverte a costruire catene di fatti altamente improbabili. Se questi fatti sono romantici li chiamiamo Destino e se sono negativi li chiamiamo Sfortunate Coincidenze.

It is important that I continue to write things, even if they do not form anything coherent. If I write incoherent passages then I will be unlikely to write a seminal novel but it will be more likely than if I hadn’t written at all.

On the train, we will kiss but not talk. We will drink miniature coffees. We will understand that what is happening is the right thing, and that our lives from now on will not feature half empty beds or frozen loaves of bread.

Our flat will be empty, light, and airy. There will be six cushions, two duvets, a mattress, and three computers. We will eat from Tupperware boxes, streaming old episodes of Parks and Recreation, and talking with our mouths full.

My editor will call to say that the last book I sent him is embarrassing to read. No character building. No plot development. He will suggest that I find a job in data entry. This will be good for you, he will say. The real world.
