Kindle Notes & Highlights
My approach is “I get to write a novel” versus “I have to write a novel.” And I think about what I desire. What kinds of stories I want to tell, what voices I want to give life to in the world.
Whatever happened before this moment is irrelevant. We tear off our clothes and race down the sand to the icy cold water. We embrace the sting. To show ourselves we can. We start anew on our work, together. We just have to try.
That’s what writing is: our particular intimacies.
A place to rest for a while from these feverish days.
Are you caring for yourself—the deep, intimate creative self? Are you giving it the nurturing it deserves? The goal is to always be getting closer to the creative self. Respecting your creativity is respecting yourself.
I promise if you are engaging in a curious life, only good can come out of it.
