Writers live within their mind for their flesh and bones are
stuck in a far worse place.
Sometimes people just can't take how real the world can be.
Even if they're your friend they’ll drop away from you like petals to a dying
flower to keep their own sanity.
A poet writes what they see every day, what they know, what
they’ve lived or barely lived through.
Sometimes the
rules of writing get in the way of a good story told.
A shovel is the
greatest motivational teacher I know.
Sleeplessness and
being a writer seem to go together hand in hand.
If you’re not
going to immerse yourself in your work as a writer then don’t write. But
beware, if you’re a writer who does not write, you stand a good chance of
drowning in the world that surrounds you.
For some folks the world is filled to the top with hurt.
For the writer that has truly suffered, their pen, their
words, their art will become as important as breathing.
Lies are served like a fine delicacy. But beware, the truth
of it all will sour, lodge in your throat, and choke your very existence if you
continue to believe them.
Sweat, blood, and tears mean nothing in your writing if
you’re not willing to burn what doesn’t work.
