I walk away.

For a short amount of time, that is. It's easy to get stuck in your world and not have a way out of it. You have to physically remove yourself from your work. I listen to music. I dive back into a short story. I read. A lot.

Then, when I return, my mind feels lighter, and I can see a way out of that writer's block. (less)

What's Some of Your Favorite 2020 Books

I'm preparing for a long Christmas break and would love to get some reccs. I tend to read darker upmarket/literary fiction, but I don't mind the occasional heartwarming romance :)

Quotes by Loan Le  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“But in anything you love, isn’t there always some bit of sadness, some essence of suffering? That, to me, is what makes art worth it. Suffer through it—mine the emotions you keep inside yourself, face whatever’s emotionally burdensome, take control of it—then emerge reborn in the end.”
Loan Le, A Pho Love Story
tags: art

“Think about what you want. What you want to make and add to the world.”
Loan Le, A Pho Love Story

“There’s so much in your life that you can’t control.… So maybe you can use this chance to do something for yourself.”
Loan Le, A Pho Love Story
