Ms. Dominique tweets for Creatives
Spiritual Advice in the manner of
Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love”
“But when it comes to writing, and all of the things
that I've sort of been thinking about writing, I ask myself ‘Why? Why am I
doing this? … Again?’
“You know, does it make sense? On the other hand, is
it rational that somebody should be afraid of the work that they were put on
this Earth to do? Sweet Suffering Jesus! What do people want of me?”

Ms. Dominique tweets for Wind (Spiritual)
Spiritual Advice in the manner of
Elizabeth Gilbert’s “Eat, Pray, Love”
“In ancient Greece, people did not believe that
creativity came from the human spirit, OK? People believed that creativity was
this divine wind that came into human beings from some distant & unknowable
source, for distant & unknowable reasons. The Greek philosopher Pythagorus
believed that beans were divine, because they caused this wind. Pythagoras later risked death rather than run through a bean field, fearing that he might injure the sacred beans. (He died when his enemies caught up with him)
“Yep, that’s the Greeks for you. Always an answer
for everything. Not always a good answer, but an answer. “

Ms. Dominique
tweets for Spiced Rum:
“I should just spell it out bluntly, because we're
all kind of friends here — it's very likely that my greatest success is behind
me. And I’m not talking about my shapely ass. Oh, sweet suffering Jesus, what a
thought! You know, it's these kinds of thoughts that could lead a person to
start drinking vodka at six o'clock in the morning, and I don't like vodka.
Spiced rum, maybe … but not vodka.”

Ms. Dominique tweets for Freaks
Ms. Dominique
tweets for Freaks, Freakishness & Banality
“Hey, you know, like check it out! I'm pretty young.
I'm only about 35 years old. I still have maybe another two decades of work
left in me. And it's very likely that anything and everything I write from this
point on is gonna be judged by the New York Literati as the novel that came
after the so-called ‘freakish banality’ of my last book … right? Like I could
never write that well again? Well fuck them! I can do freakish banality again —
and even better in my next book.”
