LBK: The Badass Diaries |
Writer, feminist, knitter, complete bitch, tea drinker, adventurer, reader and occasional social justice-type person. Does not play well with others. I have a strange fascination with both mushrooms and snakes. Also, I love: Jak and Daxter, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Mass Effect and Dragon Age. |
Life Doesn’t Frighten Me – Maya Angelou’s courageous children’s verses, illustrated by Basquiat, a priceless primer on poetry and contemporary art for little ones, and a timeless reminder of the power of courage in all of us.

Anytime before six pm work for you?
I’m sure there’s some time before then that will work, but I might have to do something for a class sometime that day. I’ll text you when I know if I do.

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Can I call you on Monday, buds???
THANK YOU I FEEL LIKE AN ADULT. But being an adult is scary. You can totally call me on Monday. What time?
I signed my lease! Yay! I’m going to be in a really good spot for commuting to my new job, which is the most important thing.
I think the most stressful thing about moving is that you have to establish all new routines. Like, I’m looking up where the closest grocery store is, and I’ll need to find a post office, and all that. All the little things about every day life have to change.

When was super depressed, I wasn’t working—I was always too depressed. Hemingway did his best work when he didn’t drink, then he drank himself to death and blew his head off with a shotgun. Someone asked John Cheever, “What’d you learn from Hemingway?” and he said “I learned not to blow my head off with a shotgun.” I remember going to the Michigan poetry festival, meeting Etheridge Knight there and Robert Creeley. Creeley was so drunk—he was reading and he only had one eye, of course, and had to hold his book like two inches from his face using his one good eye. But you look at somebody like George Saunders—I think he’s the best short story writer in English alive—that’s somebody who tries very hard to live a sane, alert life.
You’re present when you’re not drinking a fifth of Jack Daniel’s every day. It’s probably better for your writing career, you know? I think being tortured as a virtue is a kind of antiquated sense of what it is to be an artist.
"In an interview with The Fix, Mary Karr debunks the toxic mythology that it is necessary to be damaged in order to be creative. My own vehement defiance to that mythology is what led me to choose Ray Bradbury – the ultimate epitome of creating from joy rather than suffering – as the subject of my contribution to The New York Times’ The Lives They Lived.
Pair with Karr on why writers write.
