#graphomaniac
I have a real and lifelong problem where I don’t care so much about my body if I can still write (which is how u know I’m a true graphomaniac) but it does not unfortunately bode well for my Illness

The graphomaniac has an #insatiable need for inky letters on the page, for paper-curling blocks of text that approximate life, or telegraph the grief of living inside a lonely contradiction. This is a tension born heroically, and the writing is solace, because it is a life sentence.

I love Ween. I love their dumb, problematic shit and I love their masterpieces. The idea of a guy who is basically the stoner Brian Wilson and a guy who worships Greg Allman finding common ground because they're both graphomaniac songwriters who went to middle school together is so sweet to me.

There's a term for this, it's Graphomaniac. It's a medical and psychological term for an obsessive, compulsive urge to write constantly.

"The Important Novels of the mid-90s were supposed to be ‌American Pastoral and Underworld, chronicles of the past by laureled men over sixty. Infinite Jest came busting in among them like a graphomaniac Kool-Aid Man, young, brash and huge." www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/infinity-plu...

the two types of writer are not plotter & pantser, they are "overtly or covertly graphomaniac" and "writing is purest agony, speech itself is blasphemy against a vengeful universe" and i would like a pill to occasionally switch camps plz

Posted that I've "started the final chapter" some time ago.

That was a lie.

This "final" is almost 5 chapters away now. Graphomaniac.

Insane amount of books you got there! And i thought I was a graphomaniac. 😅

Leo Tolstoy was a classical graphomaniac and petty tyrant. As a common ruzzian he was a pathological liar and never beleive in he wrote about. All these high-flown style words are nothing more than an excuse for his own mediocrity.
P.S. I had to read a lot of him to claim that.

Our first publication hit the streets 25 years ago this week. The newspaper was a mix of articles, short fiction and poems and was distributed free across the cities of Yorkshire. The word 'graphomaniac' in the front page headline was borrowed from a list of 64 words by Milan Kundera.

Dmitry Ivanovich Khvostov (1757-1835) might be the worst poet who ever lived. In this episode, @jackewilson.bsky.social talks to author Ilya Vinitsky and translator James H. McGavran III about their book, The Graphomaniac, which explores the life of Khvostov. #books @nupress.bsky.social

Another Antifa graphomaniac Mattoid to the rescue. “Fascism”, “Nazi“, “billionaire” poor child, getting yourself all worked up by journo buzzwords you read in the internet.

Write a graphomaniac, damn it!

Horrible, dialogues there are almost as senile and graphomaniac as if written by Victor Hugo. I don't appreciate infodumping, when 90% of the info is water. Won't be playing it x)

That's what I was thinking. What the graphomaniac hell?!?

Absolutely, his style is florid, but not in a graphomaniac way.

I’m a graphomaniac, but for procrastination

You and I are the incoherent scribblings of a borderline graphomaniac!

You’d never mistake one of his sentences for anyone else’s. At a time when the worst thing you could be was a poser, Wallace was obviously and overtly himself.
