The mind of a writer can be truly terrifying thing. Isolated, neurotic, caffeine addled, crippled by procrastinator, consumed by feelings of panic, self loathing, and soul-crushing inadequacy… and that’s on a good day.

I can’t think why Sunday evenings always have such a funny effect on me. I simply yearn to have someone to write to – or to love. Yes, that’s it; they make me feel sad and fall in love.

You cannot pick and choose what parts of her to love.

Sarah J Maas Heir of Fire

#quote #Sarah J Maas #Heir of Fire

[theworldismadeofwords]

The bigger issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing and you work of the resonance.

#quote #Richard Price

[theworldismadeofwords]

I never thought I’d have children; I never thought I’d be in love. I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.

I wish I could love you and make you believe it because that’s all you ever wanted, that’s all you ever wanted from me.
