I love the idea that one thing can be different for different people. Everything’s that way…and then there are films or writings that you could read once and then ten years later read again and get way more from. You’ve changed; the work stays the same. But suddenly it’s got way more meaning for you, depending on where you are. I like things that have a kernel of something in them. They have to be abstract. The more concrete they are, the less likely that this thing will happen. The maker has to feel it and know it in a certain way and be honest to it. Every single decision passes through this one person, and if they judge it and do it correctly, then the work holds together for that one person, and they feel it’s honest and it’s right. And then it’s released, and from that point on there’s not one thing you can do about it. You can talk about it - try to defend it or try to do this or that. It doesn’t work. People still hate it. They hate it. It doesn’t work for them. And you’ve lost them. You’re not going to get them back. Maybe twenty years later they’ll say, “My God! I was wrong.” Or maybe, twenty years later, they’ll hate it when at first they loved it. Who knows? It’s out of your control. - David Lynch
Well I did it, I made a burner Wattpad for my weird Southern Gothic
zombie apocalypse wasteland wanderer communism story, complete with a
bullshit cover image I made in MS Paint literally just now. There’s
three (3) chapters up right now, more to come … eventually. You can
read it I guess if you want to.
Nearly two hundred years after thermonuclear war burned the world to
cinders, civilization is being rebuilt in the American South. Two
groups, divided by irreconcilable differences, have been locked in a
bloody struggle for supremacy in the shell of what was once America for
as long as anyone can remember, and each will stop at nothing to destroy
the other.
Magnolia Blackadder, field agent and designated
marksman, is sent on a dangerous mission: To travel beyond the bounds
of this new civilization, into the irradiated wasteland abandoned so
long ago, and recover a certain item of pre-war military technology.
Along the way, she learns that even the wasteland is not always what it
seems, and that some stones are best left unturned, and that some old
ghosts don’t want to stay buried.
