Writing Trying Viruses

More From Henry Miller

A man writes to throw off the poison which he has accumulated because of his false way of life. he is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. no man would set a word down on paper if he had the courage to live out what he believed in.

[...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

A virus has three purposes: to duplicate, to infiltrate and to spread from one host to the next. ultimately, even a single virus can shut down an entire system.
