“It has been said that the blessing is next to the wound.”
“Remember that this moment, this day, is one stitch in a tapestry of days. Remember that you cannot—should not—see the shape unfolding before you. Spend it all anyway. Gamble with your whole self.”
I guess I‘m more excited about the books than she is 🥰 Have to say, writing novels is so much fun and rewarding (and frustrating at times).
Picked up a new copy of this favorite. I‘m excited to reread and annotate!
“I sit down every day at around the same time and put myself in the path of inspiration… If I don‘t sit down, if I‘m not there working, then inspiration will pass right by me…”
“That knowledge, that ping, the hair on your arms standing up, that sudden, electric sense of knowing. We must learn to watch for these moments. To not discount them… Like falling in love, moments that announce themselves as your subject are rare, and there‘s magic to them. Ignore them at your own peril.”
“Pain engraves a deeper memory… Pain carves details into us, yes. I would wager, though, that great joy does as well.”
“Whatever it is that makes us feel secure in our physical space allows us to make the leap, hoping that the page will catch us. Writing, after all, is an act of faith.”
