    “Find somebody else to entertain you," I said.
    "There is no one else."
    I turned a page in my notebook and started writing again. "There's always someone else.You've been Feeding off Forfeits for hundreds of years. Get a new one."
    "You don't give my job enough credit. It's really hard to convince a girl to follow me. The average pickup lines don't work so well. 'Hey,wanna get coffee? And then spend an eternity getting the life force sucked out of you?' They don't go for it.”
    Brodi Ashton, Everneath

    Colleen Hoover
    “Write poorly.
    Suck.
    Write Awful.
    Terribly.
    Frightfully.
    Don’t care.
    Turn off the inner editor.
    Let yourself write.
    Let it flow.
    Let yourself fail.
    Do something crazy.
    Write 50,000 words in the month of November.
    I did it.
    It was fun.
    It was insane.
    It was 1,667 words per day.
    It was possible, but you have to turn off the inner critic off completely.
    Just write.
    Quickly.
    In bursts.
    With joy.
    If you can’t write, run away.
    Come back.
    Write again.
    Writing is like anything else.
    You won’t get good at it immediately.
    It’s a craft.
    You have to keep getting better.
    You don’t get to Juilliard unless you practice.
    You want to get to Carnegie Hall?
    Practice. Practice. Practice ..or give them a lot of money.
    Like anything else it takes 10,000 hours to get to mastery.
    Just like Malcolm Gladwell says.
    So write.
    Fail.
    Get your thoughts down.
    Let it rest.
    Let is marinate.
    Then edit, but don’t edit as you type.
    That just slows the brain down.
    Find a daily practice.
    For me it’s blogging.
    It’s fun.
    The more you write the easier it gets.
    The more it is a flow, the less a worry.
    It’s not for school, it’s not for a grade, it’s just to get your thoughts out there.
    You know they want to come out.
    So keep at it.
    Make it a practice.
    Write poorly.
    Write awfully.
    Write with abandon and it may end up being really really good.”
    Colleen Hoover

    Sarah J. Maas
    “What does that mean?" he demanded.
    She smiled sadly. "You'll figure it out. And when you do..." She shook her head, knowing she shouldn't say it, but doing it anyway.

    “From the first day I met her, she was the only woman to me. Every day of that voyage I loved her more, and many a time since have I kneeled down in the darkness of the night watch and kissed the deck of that ship because I knew her dear feet had trod it. She was never engaged to me. She treated me as fairly as ever a woman treated a man. I have no complaint to make. It was all love on my side, and all good comradeship and friendship on hers. When we parted she was a free woman, but I could never again be a free man.”
