I have successfully high-decoupled my desire to write a novel from my ability to write sentences. I now have a perfect, Platonic ideal of a book in my head. Actually writing it down would just debase it with the crudeness of language. I am an artist; please respect my silence.
@Daojoan Yeah, I have that same ideal. But we didn't really invent it so much as we discovered its existence. Or non-existence.
