From Blood to Ink Quotes

“Cilla fought not just as a woman but as the thing she kept at bay. Her adrenaline was off the charts, and her emotions had fluctuated between fear and rage. The ebb and flow felt like a tsunami she was incapable of controlling. The chaos she held on to so tightly was now loose, and the man who unlocked the door was now its victim. Cilla’s magic rose to the surface and erupted in a blinding display of rage.”

“Why on earth would it matter what genre you write? You’re an author, and you write what speaks to you, yes?”
“I usually get odd stares and awkward silences—that or loud outbursts in small confined spaces of ‘you write sex with ghosts.’” We both laughed.”

“Writing is madness and joy, frustration and elation. A constant ebb and flow of this works, that’s shit. Are all writers like this? Are they all only a few short steps from going mad? We’re all mad here. Have I gone mad? I’m afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are. I wonder if Lewis Carroll ever felt like this. Did any of the great authors feel this pendulum of emotion or, in my case, lack thereof? Probably. Maybe. I’m hungry. See? Total madness and lack of focus. A steady stream of consciousness and unconsciousness flowing . . . typing as if it makes any sense at all. I know I’ll delete all of this later, but for now, it feels like progress, and progress I’ll take.”

“Words and insecurities flowed like alcohol from the taps at the bar. Eris and Phin loved people who drank. Their anxieties and self-doubt were amplified and put on display in one way or another.”
