happiness

Until the other half of this blog finds the inspiration to write, I'll supply my own random spam.

From Chuck Palahniuk's book of short non-fiction, "Stranger than Fiction", story titled You are Here.

You want to be happy? You want to be at peace? You want to be healthy? As any good writer would tell you: unpack "happy". What does it look like? How can you demonstrate happiness on the page - that vague, abstract concept. Show, don't tell. Show me "happiness".
