Ask Sam Writing Questions
toska [tohs-kah]
(noun) An untranslatable, Russian word – Vladimir Nabokov describes it best: “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.” (via les-espaces-et-les-sentiments)
Oh Monday…
Mondays…
Tumblr: spreading the world apart, one group at a time.
Sometimes I think I’ve lost my faith in humanity. Today is auch a day.
THIS. This right here, these fucking people...this is the first tumblr post on race that I have agreed with for a long time, people need to chill the fuck out and not speak unless they know what the hell they are talking about. Everyone seems to be so concerned with "political correctness" that they forget what it was they were actually defending; the right to each human to be seen as human, the right to equality for all. By patronizing everybody that might possibly step on some toes, all we are doing is creating more discrimination instead of stopping it. Sorry..it just really grinds my gears >_>

It never has.
This is a concept most of tumblr can’t wrap their head around.
FUCK YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
Holy shit
I just jizzed.. A lil bit
Oh so true
Eat food from farmers markets. Drink good tea each morning. Read books that make you feel. Paint, even if you’re awful. Write, even when you have nothing to say. Sit in the fresh air outside. Go on hikes. Swim in lakes and wade in streams. Sleep as long as you need. Work hard at what you love. Work hard at what you hate. Love unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

As humans we are more similar then different.
One always forgets that in war. That’s someone’s mother you shot. That was someone’s child. Someone’s infant. Someone’s ageing father. Innocents.
Thus, I’ll never understand media’s callous use of the euphemism, “collateral damage”.
A murder is a murder is a murder. Say it how it is. Own up to your actions. After all, you chose to commit the crime.
Israel begins its ground invasion of the Gaza Strip
Fucking signal boost this shit
This is one of the most horrific things happening in the world and yet I can’t seem to find out any news about it.
Ambulances are being shot by tanks. Doctors, civilians, children playing on the beach and everyone else are all being killed.
Terrible :(

5 Books on Writing That Every Writer Should Read
To be a better writer, there are really only things that you need to do: Read, and write. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t read about being a writer, and that having a well-rounded understanding of how writing “works” isn’t beneficial.
These 5 books were all assigned to me as a creative writing undergrad, and all have pieces of wisdom in them that have etched themselves so thoroughly into my consciousness that I feel like they’re all floating over my head while I’m writing.
While there are loads of other great books on writing, I specifically chose these because they aren’t all just saying “here’s how I write, you should do it too”—the topics of these books are very diverse!
Reading Like A Writer by Francine Prose: Like I said, the best thing you can do to be a better writer is read. But what does that mean? What should you read? Francine Prose (yes, that is her real last name, if you can even believe it!) helps you answer those questions, and shows how looking for certain things while you read and reread can strengthen your own writing. Check it!
On Writing by Stephen King: This is the one book on my list that is saying “here’s how I write, you should too”. But Stephen King is basically the most prolific writer ever, so I was happy to listen to his advice. Two points of his really stuck with me: 1. Adverbs are lazy and 2. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a story is put it down for a long time—like, 6 months or a year—and come back to it with eyes so fresh that it’s like you’re editing someone else’s story. I’d be interested to know what points of his sticks with you guys!
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott: I posted about this the other day, but this book is like my writing Bible. In fact, a friend of mine who doesn’t even write got to reading it, and he loved it, too. Basically if you’re a human with a goal, this book will help you. And Anne Lamott writes kinda like this wise, kind mother who isn’t afraid to also tell you what’s up. Whereas a lot of other books on writing are about the actual storytelling, I like this book because it’s more about the writer’s “lifestyle”. Go get it now so that we can gush together!
The Philosophy of Composition by Edgar Allan Poe: This is actually just an essay, but considering that Poe is often credited with being the inventor of the modern short story, I had to include it on this list. It’s in this essay that Poe famously defined a short story as one that can be told in one sitting. Whereas King’s On Writing is really “zoomed in” on topics like word choice, this essay is a high level, theoretical piece on what a story actually is. You can get it for 99 cents on Kindle, or, even better, read it as part of a collection of all of his stories… ugh, they’re SO good!!!
Elements of Style by Strunk & White: I cannot tell you how often I’ve received this little book as a gift—for high school graduation, for college graduation, and for many Christmases and birthdays. But it’s all good because it is kinda essential for a writer to have. Elements of Style is all about—gasp!—grammar. (I should probably give it a read-through again so that I can re-center and remember my grammatical skillz, actually!) Also, there are some cute versions out now that make it seem less snore-fest-y—I really want this illustrated copy!
If you read any of these books and post quotes from them on your Tumblr, tag them #yeahwritingbooks and I’ll reblog you!
Hi there, My name is Dani and I need help paying for my second year of college at Pacific Northwest College Of Art. I’m turning 24 in October and that means that I no longer qualify for a Parent Plus Loan, and I have been awarded the maximum in stafford loans for the year, therefore i’m about $5,…
I know I don’t have many followers, but if anyone could help out my friend that would be amazing. She’s dreamed of going to school for her writing and I don’t want to see it end so abruptly.
Thanks David :)
