If I get stuck, I accept that it's either because I'm not in the right frame of mind to be writing, or because I haven't prepared sufficiently for what I am working on. So, I either walk away and come back to it later, or do some research. Either way, when I get back to it the "block" is gone.(less)

When I am finished with a scene, or a poem, or I've ended a chapter in what I believe to be a perfect way, I get a real sense of satisfaction. Even when I go back through what I've already written, and find ways to write it better, I fell like I've accomplished something. Once a work is complete, and I am sure I've done all I can to make it as good as possible, I am content that my readers will get something good out of it. This is the long-term goal--anything else would be pointless.(less)

John Casey, Raw Thoughts

“Your smile elevates me, warms my heart, validates my existence.”
