Eeeek! My suspension of disbelief is failing
Eeeek!
My suspension of disbelief is failing. It's a fucking nightmare. I see the strings on Superman. Every plot idiocy goes clunk.
Cliched lines torment me. My dreams are re-hashes of old plots.
It's come to this.
I'm going to have to create something. [shudders]

I've never
read a poem about seeing the lines which suspend belief. Why not try that?

hmmm, you know who coined the phrase "suspension of disbelief"?
Coleridge

the entire phrase is "willing suspension of disbelief"......but that's being picky lol

Coleridge?
I did not know that. I believe. There are no strings on you.

thank you my dear,
you know the best part? I don't have to try.
I have perfected a lifestyle of indulgence, laziness and pleasure.
I write what I want, when I want to, work when I want to, indulge whatever I can afford.
Life is beautiful.
