Top 5 Rules for Writers - Charles Bukowski
That's your dude! Thanks for introducing him to me. Bim. bim. bim.
Hi Carlos
When I was in high school, our literature book had a short story by Ray Bradbury intitled, "The Wilderness." I was fascinated by it, but the teacher and the rest of the students hated it. I had no better sense than to tell them why it was a fantastic story. Decades later, I was attending a conference where Mr. Bradbury was to give the lunch address and sell some books. I went out and found an old copy of a book of his short stories at a used bookstore. I got him to sign "The Wilderness" and told him the story. He got a good laugh from it. I still have the book. I get it our every now and then and read the story again. Now I've written 6 novels, a math book for people who are terrified of math, and just finished, "Violence, Lies, and Intimidation: A History of the Democratic Party. I am eternally grateful to Ray Bradbury for his influence.
Hey, I know that guy.❤
Love him or hate him, he is very wise, I've always loved reading Bukowski but I know there are a lot that feel the opposite which is fine, but I don't think he should be completely disregarded as some sloppy drunk. He really starved for his art and actually made it, which not many others can say truthfully.
No hate to Rod, I have immense love for his work, but what is that hair my man?
Excellent. Thank you.
You really captured some amazing wisdom in these excerpts, thank you so much for putting it here!
I saw him at a Learning Annex "workshop" in LA. Basically Ray telling stories about his writing life. I sat in the front row and drank it all in. What a titan he was.
Thanks for sharing this! Rod's wisdom shines through with every spoken sentence.
'Top five rules for writers make sure you click the subscribe button so you can get more great content for writers' wonder what the fuck he woulda made of that! :-)))))))
Great insights, great hair😊
Bukowski should have learned to write himself before giving advice to others, his writings are depressing, boring and pathetic. There are so many good writers around today and why anybody would admire his rubbish is a mystery.
99.99999999999% of writers today don't write real. You either can't figure out what the hell they're trying to say, it's fake, or it's put on. It's not real. Bukowski was real. You need to live your life like that. If you don't know what I mean then you need to take the time to figure it out.
@@justinedse8435 Bukowski was a fraud, he was never a poet, none of his works had any of the attributes of poetry, at best it was his own personal philosophy on life, he was a wealthy man but he pretended to live the life of somebody who was poor, most of his drunken ramblings were about himself, alcohol and the bar women he picked up, the drivel he wrote was supposed to be profound but it was just drivel. Real poetry has a story or a message, it has rhythm and rhyme, Bukowski didn't know how to use rhyme and had no message, so his work could never be called poetry. Compare my amateurish poetry with anything Bukowski wrote. DIFFERENT EYES Lili The rat infested holes in which we Derros dwell Fighting for our daily bread with us as much as them For others looking at our lives perceived as living Hell If we can find an alley, with a corner safe and dry Then we are Kings for just a night and we don’t question why We’re creatures of the shadows from which existence stems. - The city is a cruel Lord and all we have is time There’ll be no hand to lift us up, no help to find a bed We waste our time wandering, with others of our kind Talking dreams, opportunity, reality and crime And those among us jackals, put their brothers on the spike Promise bliss for just a time, escape from life, sublime. - It’s all our fault we are told, by people who don’t know Just get a job and buy a house but none will ever employ A black who can’t afford to eat, a white who’s tired and slow For this is what the streets give us and Winter is the worst The frozen parks, incessant rain, back in our holes we go We try the subway, bus stations; move on, the middle class comes first. - Charity comes with a hook, the drone of pray to God We’ll give a little, not a lot, endeavour to change your life To one of fierce obedience to Jesus in the sky And if you let us take control for one small meal a day You’ll struggle on and on through life and then one day you’ll die A mansion awaits you in the clouds, if you pray and pray and pray. - But Spring brings hope, all Nature’s good, to creatures all awake Nature provides enough to eat, a nest a tree a cave But man must find their own abode and man exploits the poor So back into the tents on streets us Derros slink once more And every day it seems there’s more, one paycheck from the street This lucky country prosperous once, now greed’s a festering sore.
Dude had so much more to gove to the world
That was wonderful!
Ray Bradbury will definitely live forever. ❤ He is a hero in every sense of the word. I had the honor of meeting him when I was a h.s. senior. I am sharing my love of Bradbury with my current class of h.s. seniors. Ty Mr. Finney for everything! (my 11th and 12th grade English teacher).
Stuck with me: when you’re moved hurry and get it down!
0:50 That quote is from Ernest Hemmingway.
Do you know why Bukowski never referred to Nietzsche or Osho, because those are the people that exemplify his writing. 🙏🏼😊
Excellent collection of motivational quotes. Thank you.
Beautiful loved it. Next time audience , keep quiet let the man speak.
He's wasted.😂
Great edit thanks
Rule 1. Definitely. But the fingers at 100wpm don’t keep up sometimes. At the end of the day, they, with the brain, are exhausted. Even here in Tucson.
Rod Serling had an amazing voice. It made everything he said sound vitally important.
"Things that you love should be things that you do." That advice stood out to me. Thank you for this video.
Great. “Don’t think.” Just sit down and write. 🌿🐇
9/9🤙
Just beautiful.
Love it
As much as I love Bradbury's stories (they are some of my favorites), it is the Bradburian philosophy of life that I love the most. That philosophy of life, or poetry of living, comes through in the stories, but I also love when he preaches it directly, like he does in these clips. This Bradburian philosophy of life, this Bradburian poetry of living, it seems to me, is an excellent roadmap for how to live a happy and good life. Thank you for posting this.
Yes, his sense of wonder, and sharing that wonder through the written word, was unparalleled! It is the essence of who he was as a person.
He was my biggest inspiration for reading Sci Fi, The Illustrated Man......I wanted to see those worlds! Poe was the reason I liked Horror....❤️
Oh, thanks for posting! This guy is my literary hero! ----mike
A truly talented man.
Born by fire 🔥 living forever indeed. My inspiration
Thank you so much for sharing this. As a (struggling) writer for over 30 years now, Bradbury remains one of my greatest inspirations.
Yeah, you can be the best of a generation these days, and still not make it. It's all about money.
@@BKNeifert You are 100% correct. I'm friends with a handful of writers. People seem to think if you're published, or have a book out, or you are on a contract to write books, you've "made it". This is far, far from true! Most published writers still have a day job. A great many struggle.
@@PhilAndersonOutside It's a shame, because some of us, all we know how to do is write.
Thanks for this. His first tip, where he likens the first draft to speaking with someone and writing only with emotion and honesty first, made sense. I've never heard of that process described as such a natural and familiar process.
20 years I’ve been researching neuroplasticty, authors, neuroscience to connect patterns related to manifestation, and creating the life desired. This is my obsession. Anyway, I noticed R.B. spoke the same language from all the esoteric masters. That is, thought is the substance of things not seen, felt with emotion as though it is real and alive, and forms as your desires reality. Yet, too think it’s not enough. You must ACT IMMEDIATELY on that desire, persist to create it by devoting time every day to feeling the experience, until that thought form substance becomes reality. What a wonderful thing to hear him speak this language. ❤
Thank you this was very inspiring
Lay down for three or four days, get your juices back, then get up look around and do.
Beautiful.
Thanks pure Gold ! Rod its a gigant
John Martin paid bukowski to quit his job and just write. The odds of finding a John Martin is Zero. Bukowski knew he got lucky as hell. You need to be at the Right time, right place. Thats all. Nothing more.. nothing less. There are like 10000 bukowskis that never got the LUCK factor.
Great share and thanks for putting it together! Bradbury believed in Wonder and never let it go. And #4 is so true.
must be great to write..his writings are addictive,,. just want more.
noice 😌👏👌❤
Legendary rules to write by.
Good stuff. Thanks
Why do so many ppl pronounce his name Bradberry?
Because that's how it's pronounced in American English.
"When you clean up a city, you kill it." Interesting.
