Art Bell

[malachi.martini]

Easy, I write 6-10 hours a day and multitask between that and Bellgab as a method of writing. I literally cannot write more than 200-300 words without dealing with symptoms of an anxiety disorder that manifests when I write. Checking Bellgab, or email or the news is the pressure release value. After the anxiety goes away, I go back to work and the cycle repeats.

Your turn. What is so bad in your life that you feel compelled to go to an internet site and shit all over the place?

So you're often in a state of writing induced anxiety when you're writing on Bellgab? That would explain a lot.

Isn't that the truth. Probably writes romantic comedies like half of Los Angeles does. Everybody's got a script.

Good idea. Imma write a romantic comedy involving your tongue and Art's fundament.

Maybe he should try the one about me fucking his sister. Unless she is fat. Or ugly.

Brilliant!

Too true, but it takes a very special writer to pen a Hallmark Channel movie script.

[Autistic Star Children]

hey Art, been a HUGE fan for years. A couple of burning questions I wanted to ask -

what ever happened to madman Marcum and do you plan to interview him again?

Does Mel still have his hole?

Care to share what Dr. Malachi Martin shared with you?

When do you plan on having John Titor on as a guest again?

Thanks Art~!

[Donald Noory]

What great American epics have you written?

He won't tell anyone anything he's written. Because it's all in his head. Any real, published writer would be glad to promote their work.

What great American epics have you written?

Absolutely none. I stay afloat, but only through writing for others in addition to my own stuff. Stephen King I am not.

The End.

So you're not an author then, that's what you're saying?

Writer yes, author no.

If only GG Allin was around during social media.

I don't believe it...

...I'm actually hungry for Taco Bell.   

What chu need, baby?

So you're often in a state of writing induced anxiety when you're writing on Bellgab? That would explain a lot.

Not really, the moment I stop writing it goes away. Doesn't really happen to me if I'm posting or writing an email.

Curious why you would post this now, just as Heather is going live with a guest on MITD?

I'm willing to bet that this thought didn't enter into his mind. I don't think he thought that throwing Heather to the wolves would hurt her and I don't think he thought that posting this at the start of Heather's show would distract the audience and take away from her show.

That is why there has been no answers yet. I think your post woke him up to that. Imagine if the Heather fans realized that Art was posting. They'd quickly forget they were Heather fans and rush back to Art.

I bet he will answer once the show is over.

My question: Why choose an unknown with no experience over all the other "talent" at the network (some who had supported the network in the two years you weren't able to be there)?

[Coffeeman]

So you're not an author then, that's what you're saying?

Writer yes, author no.

Yeah...there's no effective difference. Go back to the Trump thread.

I am still convinced your write the overlay copy for low rent porno magazines where it appears the chick is saying something slutty.

Sounds like we have had similar experiences.  While I've had a good number of articles published, I've made more money (and had more fun) doing research for others.  Most fun was doing research for military/aviation artists.

She's cheap, she was a part of the show, and she was gullible enough to be thrown into this.

[SciFiAuthor]

Writer yes, author no.

Both, I've authored quite a few novels at this point. Not everyone that makes their living writing is a NYT best seller. In fact, most aren't.

Perhaps this question spurred a realization that led to the abrupt cutoff of the Q&A (presumably to be continued after the program).

[Claudius]

Yeah...there's no effective difference. Go back to the Trump thread.

Sure there is, someone is an author when their book/work is published. I can write books all day and I'm a 'writer', but I'm no author.

yeah i knew GG and his brother and the band very well

I haven't, but I'd totally accept that job. Probably be fun.

[Claudius]

What are the novels, I'm honestly curious.

George Noory playing some sexy sax while I write this .... how nice of him.

I don't think we are the only ones who listen to her show. Ugggggh, nevermind. Maybe ur right.

[Uncle Duke]

Possibly, I've heard multi-tasking is hard.

[malachi.martini]

So only creative writing gives you anxiety? You seem rather high strung in a lot of your posts, which is why I was curious about the whole pressure release valve comment. I assume you've read Pressfield's The War of Art and his take on self sabotage?

[SciFiAuthor]

He won't tell anyone anything he's written. Because it's all in his head. Any real, published writer would be glad to promote their work.

Well, ya see Donald, there's the problem. You said earlier that you like being able to say what you want. So do I. You can't do that if you're simultaneously trying to promote yourself. You end up in Art Bell's boat if you do that shit. Keep your professional life and your hobbies and personal life separate. That's the best career advice you'll ever get, so listen to it.
