revelation by the side of the charles river dam (‘the opposite of writer’s block’)
this is where it happens for alice w. flaherty in boston (home to riverside records sometime distributor of john fahey records coincidence freaks) near to the science museum (so the wonder that is the internet tells us). graphomaniac/ hypergaphia ‘sufferer’/ neuroscientist/ aspiring writer alice hears the phrase ‘the opposite of writer’s block’ and her book the midnight disease is born in flurry of scribbled notes.
yesterday horsemouth had a much needed day off - he listened to john fahey (for it was the start of fahey week) and had a veggie breakfast in a very west ham cafe next to the old ground. he was quite taken by brenda’s blues by fahey (particularly since pianist george winston has thoughfully told us the chords).
horsemouth’s hands (and nails) are still a bit fucked after his two recent ‘gigs’ but soon he will be returning to ‘form’ and try to make some progress on it.
as well as being big on the motivations to write, alice is also big on eureka moments,k the moments where life suddenly makes sense or we make sense of life or we at least come up with a plausible story/ metaphor.
horsemouth is slightly off balance at the moment (but everything is great).
