What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lod N. Cavalon
Bleed! Yes, Bleed! the blood you currently have in you is bad blood, the more you write the more you bleed the more you bleed the purer you become.

Your life is a conduit, and by default, it is filled with lots of idiosyncrasies, biases and unnecessary subjectivity. Your goal is to become a passage and not a room, a running stream and not a stagnant pool, a fountain, not a deep cold well. Your goal is to overcome your brain, your consciousness, your ego, yourself. Your goal is to become a pure vessel.

Let the universe be your brain, feel the nodes as they connect and disconnect, feel the energy, the vibe. Don't be limited by time, space, even eternity, learn to be still, learn to be vulnerable, learn to shatter your boundaries and limitations with deep meditation, don't be ordinary or useless. learn to exist, learn to be present.

A time will come when you will write not because you want to, but because if you don't, you will die. Till then, Bleed! Yes, Bleed!
