Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Writing is my love, 2 hours a day has never been enough. It easily consumes my life more thanContinue reading “Writing, My Love”

O William Blake
Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night. William Blake O William Blake, if you only knew how much I’d love for my life to be as smooth as this quote sounds. Ok ok wait let’s think about this. Something I learned as a writer was thatContinue reading “O William Blake”
Solitude
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other. Rainer Maria Rilke I don’t know that I could find a quote that better explains my marriage. We are a pair humans who absolutely love our solitude. We really don’t require much as lovers of solitude but we do have ourContinue reading “Solitude”
Believe
Believe you can and you’re halfway there. Theodore Roosevelt Believe in the person you are and will be. I had a hard time believing in myself for a long time. I’m still learning to believe in who I am and what I’m capable of being. I think that’s something we should always be learning andContinue reading “Believe”
Fell?
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Confucius I’m here with this quote and a story. One time in about 3rd grade, I was riding bikes with my brother, hit a pothole, flipped over the handlebars. I scraped my forehead, got the wind knocked out of me,Continue reading “Fell?”
But You
There’s going to be days when you screw up. I don’t like those days, most of us don’t. On those days I want to crawl into a hole and hide until it all blows over. Believe it or not, I used to shame myself with my own weird self-punishing rituals like not allowing myself myContinue reading “But You”
Mediums
Literature is one of the most interesting and significant expressions of humanity. P. T. Barnum I like art. I like most mediums (some gorey things not so much). So what I’m saying is, I can’t even come close to agreeing that literature is the most interesting or significant form of expression. There’s too many creativeContinue reading “Mediums”
Creators
To create one’s world in any of the arts takes courage. Georgia O’Keeffe I think to create ones world in general takes courage. We are taught in so many ways that creation is outside of us. That creation resides in anything but the human soul. I think this diminishes our humanity. We were made inContinue reading “Creators”
Time
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once. Albert Einstein I appreciate having some structure and order in my life. I also appreciate when things happen in a nice linear fashion, but we don’t always get those options. Time is an interesting thing. I like to think about Einstein’s theoriesContinue reading “Time”
Curiosity Went Missing
Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. Zora Neale Hurston Well, that’s an inviting way to think about research. I truly enjoy research. It lights my fire and helps me better understand the world around me. Research inspires me to read and write more than anything else ever has. JustContinue reading “Curiosity Went Missing”
