Gary McDonald

Do not love for the love of another,
nor seek the sights already sought,
live for the lives of the many,
and your days will in time be taught.
Gary

I'll be swinging in from time to time, but my new home is over at Lynne's brilliant new site.

I hope to see you there!

I am no more than an opinion; I exist solely as the vision of others permits. As those around me fall, my image shall fade, and I too will die.
Thus all you need to know are the basics...
I am 19.
I write (though shall never consider myself a writer).
My only passion greater than writing, is my hatred for my writing.
I enjoy all forms of media, TV, Movies, Music, Books.
Beyond this requires a third eye, may it be yours...

“The only thing that matters is writing itself, everything else is literature.” ~ The film Total Eclipse

“Writing can trap you. Some writers tend to write what has pleased their readers in the past. They hear accolades and believe them. There is only one final judge of writing and that is the writer. When he is swayed by the critics, the editors, the publishers, the readers, then he’s finished. And of course when he’s swayed with his fame and his fortune, you can float him down the river with the turds.” ~ The Film Factotum

“Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals.” ~ Don Delillo

"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is." — Oscar Wilde
