Imagine that you are dying. If you had a terminal disease would you finish this book? Why not? The thing that annoys this 10-weeks-to-live self is the thing that is wrong with the book. So change it. Stop arguing with yourself. Change it. See? Easy. And no one had to die.

Don't bother
Me with promises. Vows
are cheaply manufactured,
come with no guarantees.
Don't bother to say you
love
me. The word is indefinable.
Joy to some, heartbreak
to others, depending on
circumstance. There
is
evidence that the emotion
can make a person live longer,
evidence it can kill you early.
I think it's akin to
a deadly
disease. Or at least some
exotic fever. Catch it, and
you'd better, quick, swallow
some medication to use as a
weapon
against the fire ravaging
body and soul.
but this is the real objection to that torrent of modern talk about treating crime as disease, about making prison merely a hygienic environment like a hospital, of healing sin by slow scientific methods. The fallacy of the whole thing is that evil is a matter of active choice whereas disease is not.
