once you create a world, you can never stop living in it
the simplest answer is the hardest thing to be
just because you read other peoples thoughts doesn’t make them your own
A couple poems turned into songs. rustic and grainy, these were as soon as Suno launched but will carry a special place in my heart. for anyone who writes poetry, to have it turned into a song is a dream. if you need to have faith in humanity again go on Suno and listen to peoples songs.

Best Writing Advice from Writers:
From an interview with Charles DeLint, YA/Children’s author
“the story that sticks with you is a story where at the end of the story, the character is different, has been changed than they were at the beginning of the story. And that’s what your readers will connect to. Not the magic.”
“to me, I’m just looking and it’s all crap. Everything I’m putting down is just crap, and I lay more crap on top of the crap. So I’ve learned, of course, now that just to push through ’cause I can always go back and fix it, you know, if it’s that bad, I can always go back and do something, but I have to get to the end before I can go back and fix it.”
“My feeling is that all art is conversation. That’s all it is… what’s so wonderful about it is that we can have conversations with people who are two-three hundred years old.”
This is a quote from China Mieville’s website:
A principal rule for writers, and especially those who want to describe their own sensations, is not to believe that their doing so indicates they possess a special disposition of nature in this respect. Others can perhaps do it just as well as you can. Only they do not make a business of it, because it seems to them silly to publicize such things.’ Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
