My love is as ancient as my blood.

“I learned love, first, as scar.”

Thanks to @abbyluschei and the @statesmanjournal for the shout-out and the quote in Sunday's article about Small Business Saturday! I had fun recommending Oregon writers to unsuspecting patrons. And @bookbinsalem employees even let me choose the music during my shift. I went with the Chieftans' Bells of Dublin Christmas album. You're welcome--or I'm sorry--depending on your holiday music tastes. (at The Book Bin - Salem) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqQ9T3hts3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=165ft240d7jkd

fitzcarraldo n. an image that somehow becomes lodged deep in your brain—maybe washed there by a dream, or smuggled inside a book, or planted during a casual conversation—which then grows into a wild and impractical vision that keeps scrambling back and forth in your head like a dog stuck in a car that’s about to arrive home, just itching for a chance to leap headlong into reality.

Five Edits for Sentimentality - Ooligan Press

I sat next to a woman on a cross-country flight who read Fifty Shades of Grey from cover to cover with such rapt attention that she didn't respond to the flight attendant. When we landed, the woman looked confused and not too happy to step back into real life. She collected her things with the glazed, glassy eyes of the fictive spell.

An excellent exploration of sentimentality and how to avoid it in your writing from Rachel Palmer at Ooligan Press
