I work a mind-numbingly boring day job; gallery attendant at an art museum. Countless hours spent every day standing up and not doing much of anything. It’s so boring that new hires often quit after a few weeks because it’s too still and unstimulating, but I love it. I love having a place that forces me to sit and be. Boredom can be amazing if you can learn to work with it. It’s like a skill, I rarely ever get bored anymore, it’s always fuel for future creative projects.

Thanks brotha!

I don't buy this as a universal trend. For example, in the professional classical music world, performance abilities and standards have gone up tremendously and regularly in the past few decades; this would not be possible without young practitioners being willing to sit alone and be intensely involved with a process which appears boring to outside observers.

Wallace is great because he gave the world a true example of someone with nothing to say

Lol. You've obviously not read him very much and are bitter because people love him!

I read Girl with curious hair and oblivion and I've watched his interviews. He's a hack, IJ is not worth the time of a 3 year old. Pale King should be burned in a flaming pile of pornography. Not bitter just annoyed how many better writers are out there that don't get the same attention.@@WriteConscious
