“You know how a fish sounds when it leaps out of water? If I could write that in a word, I’d know how to be a Writer. Or like the bee, that sizzling sound when it goes back to the swarm. Words are all you have to write with and most things don’t go into words.”
J.J Mason, Swan by Frances Mayes

I came across a notebook I’d used in 2015 and inside there were all these notes, scribbles, ideas and things that made their way into some of the content I wrote then. I also came across this page where I’d titled “some epic quotes on writing,” so here they are:
- Writing turns you into somebody who’s always wrong. The illusion that you may get it right someday is the perversity that draws you on.- Phillip Roth, American Pastoral
- Writing is liberation.- Sainte Beuve
- Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for the love of it, then you do it for a few friends and finally you do it for money. Moliere
- A writer is an ink-spiller. Ink is a form of water. Israel Kosky, 1945
Have a lovely weekend.
TMI
Currently listening to: Baptized by Daughtry
Looking forward to: an afternoon nap
So glad I got to: finish braiding my hair
Can’t wait to: visit a tailor and get a dress made out of the fabric bought yesterday 🙂
I hope: I can start taking sugar again, but my sore throat is getting better and I am sounding much better than I feel.
