I really don't like writers very much. They're too verbal. I prefer nonverbal people. I'd rather be with an inarticulate painter or musician or even a chess player. I'd rather be with anyone inarticulate. I used to number myself among the writers. I've written thousands of pages. I made a living writing. I thought I was communicating. I was just confusing myself and everyone else. I really can't bear listening to people who think they're communicating anything important: their thoughts, their feelings, whatever it is. They're just making everything worse. Even now, I'm writing. It's horrible. I really wish I'd just knock it off. I keep promising myself I will. But these words are just as empty as all the others that come out of me.
