For me, this October meant discovering Edgar Allan Poe. I was adamant before, considering his writing to be too cruel or impossible to cope with (although it was never my own belief, but others'). Until i finally decided to give this 'madman' a chance. And never have I felt so astonished and derranged, in a good way I can't even explain. I feel compassion and empathy for him and, moreover, I believe that each of us encompasses some bit of Edgar's madness. But we lack the courage to express it, so he did it for us, then and now and definitely forever.
Thank you for your intro, for you sharing with us your sincere thoughts and experiences. And thank you for your writing, I am quite addicted to it 🙈
Thank you so much, Katia! Your comment has made my day! :) I am genuinely glad you are enjoying the newsletter. As for Poe, I felt the same way once I started reading his other works – you actually explained it better than I could. Of course, we have all degrees of madness, but there are only a few who overstep that imaginary thin line and turn out to be not only mad but brilliant too.
Can't believe you are at 30 now such a big achievement 👏 it's funny how much we rebel if we don't choice. Your English teacher seem like one of the good ones in the sense that she really cared. Sound like she had passion. If she really did go beyond what she needed too. Its funny how you don't realise until you look at all they did. Also great choice of Poe for Halloween we never really cover Poe in English so my first exposure to his story the raven was though Simpson tree house of horror haha.
Also good for book shops trying take on amazon. I don't want book shops to go! There just sometimes so nice about walking in and finding something physically and not scrolling on a digital page.
Woah that embarrassing when the guy said dounts. Haha god 🤣 thank for all this! Keep going and growing you will be at 100 before you know it. You got try opening a discord and maybe even a patron! I belive in you!
Aww, Ben! It's something so refreshing in reading your comments every week, I can't even describe. Thank you – they do keep me going! And no #30 – crazy, I know! Glad you learned something new about Poe, and yes, the Tipping Point dude made me rewatch the video too many times to count, ha! Every day is a learning day after all, eh? Haha
