Writings of mine, sometimes wistful, sometimes not. But always genius. Guaranteed.

Fantasy of the recluse

I will have to, until my very last breath, suffer the idiocy of the insipid and the folly of fools.
I want to share with you my fantasy. In this little idealized version of my future, I've written my masterpiece. I have a decent amount of money, just enough so that I don't have to worry about how […]

Writing burnout

I've been writing like hell lately: the month of September has been my most prodigious and voluminous month, coming in at 27 posts. That's almost one a day. I also enjoyed the most traffic I've ever had in the history of The Obtuse Observations of a Wistful Writer (aside from some off days that were likely […]
