Been there, done what? Committed suicide or been one of the most brilliant fiction and non-fiction writers of our generation?

Tried suicide. Damned near succeeded.

It's not fun.

Damn. He was eating really good, too. There must've been more stories in him waiting to come out.

Sad when good artists aren't able to get past their demons. I've been close to that edge myself.

Oh dear, if this is the price of genius I'm relieved at my own mediocrity. Poor man. Poor widow.

I can't believe I missed this sad news. I got an email from an old friend who told me.

He was my age, and an incredible influence on me.

There aren't words.
