HaikuPrajna
Abandonment of/ deterministic excuse,/ responsible angst. ("Existentialism is a Humanism")
Have begun the second draft of "Spear-thrower"! As seen in the attached screenshot excerpt, the main focus of the changes in this draft is descriptions; few rewrites, and the next draft will focus on grammar and syntax.
HaikuPrajna is reviewing #MyYearInBooks on #Goodreads, with "Existentialism is a Humanism" by Jean-Paul Sartre. Readers get to experience Sartre confronting the criticism of his philosophy of thought, over how our being comes before our defining, on the angst we feel when confronting the responsibility of such a doctrine and the abandonment of deterministic excuses, which is a result of being a free existence. Jean-Paul Sartre was my first foray into the world of philosophy, long before I had read this work, and continues to influence my writing.
