The ancient druids and celts believed in liminal places. Physical points in space and time that acted as doorways into the supernatural Otherworld. One in particular was the edges of waterways. Did they have an understanding of water as being a magical liquid crystal?

Reputation is for a time; character is for eternity. - J.B. Gough

“Everyone has a unique story to create and share. Take the story within you, shape it, give it the power it needs, and let it out to all, and share it. Write what you want and need as a novel, then continue to craft it until it is ready for everyone.” -Wrtr #amwriting #Writing

Writing feels different every single day. Some days you roll. Some you wait. Each day you are one step closer. -Wrtr #amwriting #Writing

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself. —Truman Capote—

Never tell your reader what your story is about. Reading is a participatory sport. People do it because they are intelligent and enjoy figuring things out for themselves. —George V. Higgins—

There is simply nothing more magical than a book. (art by Allen Williams)

Names are terribly important. I spend forever coming up with names. Sometimes a character doesn’t work until I change his name. In Bandits, Frank Matusi didn’t work. I changed him to Jack Delaney and suddenly he opened up. —Elmore Leonard—

Yep

Creativity is an act of magic rising up from your subconscious. It feels wonderful every time it happens, and I’ve learned to live with the anxiety of it not happening over long periods of time... —Bruce Springsteen—

Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. —Anne Lamott—

@cheerynihilism For a giggle. Sounds like a plan to me.

Do people not realize that tone is not communicated via text? I'm SO TIRED of people backpeddling by saying "it was a joke". Who am I kidding, I hate everyone today. Everything is terrible and we're all just participating in a ridiculous pantomime.

Yyyyyup. #infj

There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges. —Ernest Hemingway—

George Santos is the first politician to realize that since we are all in our media bubbles, you can pretend to be everything to voters in both parties, and no one on either side will notice. #Mythomaniac
