“You have too many demented girls in your books.”
— Geraldine Jackson in a letter to her daughter Shirley Jackson about her novels (via dorothea-rising)
Geraldine served as the inspiration for a lot of the fucked up shit that goes on in Shirley Jackson’s books. She was heavyset starting in her teens and Geraldine would berate her relentlessly for it, as well as for her “unladylike” manner, resulting in depression and anxiety issues surrounding her weight/appearance for the rest of Shirley’s life. One of the major themes of Jackson’s writing is consumption and control; it can be seen in almost every piece she’s ever published, and a decent chunk of that can be attributed to her mother’s lifelong abuse. It’s no surprise in the slightest that Geraldine wouldn’t be taken with Shirley’s protagonists — they each depict a reflection of a broken girl Geraldine knew all too well, one she helped create.

I tell everyone this and I mean it. Buy a journal. Carry it with you everywhere you go. And I mean everywhere. Write about your favorite moments, your least favorite moments, ideas, grocery lists, people you’ve met, strangers you’ve walked past on the street, favorite quotes, words to remember, what the sky looked like at 7pm, new songs you’ve discovered and what they mean to you, your childhood, places you want to go or places you’ve been, write about your passions, how you feel in this exact moment, draw out the mountains, scribble all over the pages. And when that one gets full, buy a new one. Reread it in 2 years, 20 years, when you need a good laugh, when you’re crying on your bathroom floor, read it to your children. You need to remember these moments in your life. They are so important.
