self-loathing poet

All the great love stories are tragedies. 

[9tay8tay9]

Silence speaks so much louder than screaming tantrums. Never give anyone an excuse to say that you’re crazy.

Taylor Swift  (via 9tay8tay9)

Lesser-known steps of the writing process:

Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once

Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards

Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop

Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere

Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

“If you are a writer, or want to be a writer, this is how you spend your days–listening, observing, storing things away, making your isolation pay off. You take home all you’ve taken in, all that you’ve overheard, and you turn it into gold. (Or at least you try.)”

— Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I'm bored

[homesteadchronicles]

I hope that you wrote today. That the words that can get so easily stuck inside made their way out. That the hardships of humanity did not deter your will to make or impede your capacity to create. That you put pen to paper, key to keyboard, mouth to microphone and breathed beauty back into a world chock-full of it.

I hope that you love what you wrote today. That the words flowed with a freedom unprecedented and unexpected. That the ideas that dawned on you will lead to a breakthrough in your next chapter. That the passion stirred inside your soul today would create an everlasting momentum towards your work’s completion. 

I hope that, if you don’t love what you wrote today, that you love yourself regardless. That all those jumbled phrases and run-on sentences will be better next time around. That you have faith in the messiness of your manuscript. That even the worst words ever to have come from your hands will not diminish your heart towards this beautiful art we partake in.
