“I hate writing. I so intensely hate writing - I cannot tell you how much. The moment I am at the end of one project I have the idea that I didn't really succeed in telling what I wanted to tell, that I need a new project - it's an absolute nightmare. But my whole economy of writing is in fact based on an obsessional ritual to avoid the actual act of writing.” NeedsWritingIdeasEndsWholeMomentsFactsWantedHateEconomySucceedProjectsI HateAbsolutesNightmareRitualNew Projects Author:Slavoj Žižek
“When the press writes scare stories about the global labor supply draining jobs from rich to poor places, the story is usually presented as a "race to the bottom" simply in terms of wages. Capitalism supposedly looks for labor wherever labor is cheapest. This story is half wrong. A kind of cultural selection is also at work, so that jobs leave high-wage countries like the United States and Germany, but migrate to low-wage economies with skilled, sometimes overqualified workers.” WritingLooksKindCountrySometimesStatesStoriesJobsTermPoorUnitedRaceHalfUnited StatesEconomyRichLowsCapitalismLaborPressesWorkersBottomGermanyScareWagesSelectionDrainingMigrateOverqualified Book:The Culture of the New Capitalism Source: The Culture of the New Capitalism

“I never considered myself an Americana artist, but I'm a huge fan of old-time music from the States, the recordings that were made in the '20s and '30s. Trying to chase down the exact stylistic trappings of that stuff always felt like a dead end. That spirit of directness and economy, but also the poetic pungency of the writing and almost ugly, or raw, performance - all that seemed like the real message. I've just tried to somehow stay true to that feeling.” WritingTryingMadeRealEndsStatesFeelingsSpiritArtistFeltStuffEconomyFansHugeMessagesPerformancesUglyPoeticStay TrueDead EndsOld TimeAmericanaOld Time Music Author:Will Sheff
“Our analytical faculties allow us to look critically at our writing and interpret it.

“My stories usually begin with the characters and some elements of how power (personal, political, magical) functions in the world. The rest develops as I write, and research helps a great deal with that. If you're going to write about an agrarian economy, research agrarian economies.
