Blood

And soul

Light

And dark

A depressed

Optimist

As pale

As energetic

It is

The colour of magic

The colour of love/lust

The colour of the skies

That lie underneath us

The sunset

The sunrise

The seas

And the seagulls

The tears of the stars

The smell off the grass

The kind of feeling

When a new era starts

Cared by few

Seen by most

For no one takes the effort

To notice the lost

Mistaken with death

Mistaken with life

Waiting for someone to say

No sharp edges tonight

Melt two into one

Melt the Moon in the Sun

Melt the Skies in the Ground

Melt the brain

In the heart

- Pink and Blue and stars and earth

Me and you and the universe

The Last Draft: A Novelist’s Guide to Revision - Sandra Scofield

This little book is a good hand guide for how to write (and actually finish) that first draft of a story. As a writer who has admittedly had this issue for years, I found this book really helpful. I had honestly kind of given up on finishing my book at one point (sorry to all you family and friends who have been waiting for it), but just the introduction of this book made me energized and motivated and ready to finally not only tackle the story again but to finally finish it.

Which, on that note, never skip introductions by default. I always at least get a few pages into them. If it seems pointless and boring, okay, I admit, I sometimes skip them. But it is more often that introductions are helpful, like this 28pg springboard to jump into the book and start to work on and finish editing your story, no matter what the length is.

Definitely a must-read for any other aspiring authors.
