When Did I Become Quote Worthy?
I dwindle away hours of precious writing time every week perusing blogs. I call it an investment in my education. Today I’m all surfing along, bouncing from one blog to the next. Then I find this fantastic article that has beautiful quote art of writing inspirations. I’m excited, thinking I can use this on my instagram (@sarahnoffke). Well I’m scrolling through, enjoying the content when I get to the bottom and read the last quote. My internal dialogue went like this:
“I recognize that quote.”
*scroll
“This author’s name is Sarah Noffke. That’s cool. That’s my name too.”
*reality dawned.
And that’s when serendipity brought me to realize I’d been quoted. So here’s the article. Enjoy! And be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom.

Your quote is so very true - one day everything will need to breathe on its own. It can't stay caged up forever when it want's to have its story told! ;)

I've always felt that my stories came through me, much like my child. They aren't mine to own, but rather mine to give. That kind of thinking also helps me to detach from the story and just tell it. :)
I agree totally - I don't create the story - the characters do that for me; I just tell their story to the world because they came to my attention wouldn't leave me alone. ;) Once I have told the story and they have gone, I know I have done my job as a writer, if I hadn't they'd still be in my mind begging for another book. It's only when they fade back into the backlight (for the moment) that I know I can move on to another character, and tell their story, I am but a messenger for my characters. Often they change the story plot, from what I had in mind, to something I could never have thought of. :)
