write what you don’t know you know
“Write What You Know is meaningless bullshit. Write what is mysterious, what is treacherous, what gets a spear thrown through your face.” — by @thebookslut (Jessa Crispin)
Write what you don’t know you know
Write to find out what you know
Write what you thought all these years that you had to keep secret
Write what whispers in your room when there’s no one around, puts an invisible hand on your shoulder, makes sure the eyes in the portrait are following you
Write what other people know but can’t say, or don’t want to say, or don’t know they know
Write what gets lost to silence
Write what had to happen when you went through to the other side
Write what’s dangerous
Write what made you out for your own blood
Write what you would write if you got tired of being nice
Write what moves through you like lightning, looking for a place to touch down
Write what you saw when you unlocked the door that he told you not to
Write what the truth would write if the truth was writing you
Write what you saw when you saw love (and it’s not what we thought)
Write what’s burning down the house
Write what scares you
Write what made you want revenge and this is how you’ll get it
Write what pulls you in the wrong direction
Write what’s written on her body and only you can see
