Writer Geoff Dyer on What Makes the Writing Life | Louisiana Channel

[@fullof78889]

What I like about him is that he doesn't try to look like he figured it all out.

[@1dbanner]

Geoff is a wonderful writer and human being. His opening remarks in particular hit home with my writing

[@russelgrimes6739]

This is genuine practical advice on writing. In order to be authentic, you have to abide to what is natural and intuitive to your disposition.

Good to hear that phases of not writing arent a reason to fall in despair. But everytime i fall in this phase something is missing.

These Louisiana Channel videos are much appreciated, but they are relentless. Little time-outs with B-roll camera work would give time to process what's being said. What an amazing location here for example.

re: "It is going to be a book about D.H. Lawrence, right?" as well as "It is going to be a book more about you, right?" and "yes, oh, yes" being the answer to both questions . . . This is the only answer that can be given, I feel -- one doesn't know. Anyway - hilarious, but perfectly natural -- people are so concerned with certainty -- where money being paid is concerned. and also - re: father saying "Never put anything in writing" and then becoming a writer - is a brilliant encapsulation of the parent/child relationship -- etc -- great vid -- TY

Great interview

He's like Martin Amis's unpretentious, unassuming younger brother
