I’ve been doing some field work with geologists this winter and I’m kind of amazed by how these dudes can pick up a handful of dirt and talk about it for an hour using terms I’ve never heard of. Like wow you see a whole universe in there that I don’t. The world is truly full of beauty and we only comprehend a fraction of it.
#stories#reminded of my geologist flatmate#who would get drunk and crack out his photo album#full of boulders#wherever you are John#I hope the gods are smiling on you and your boulders

… You have to live with recrudescence of love for lovers lost, who come alive unannounced in your mind, dreams. Call to you. You find you cry over spilt love.
- Frank Moorhouse, from Libido and Life Lessons

“I used to be scared that if I gave up my sadness, I wouldn't be me anymore. But growing into a peaceful state of mind does not mean happy ever after.
It means that you can now feel the sadness, but not let it consume you. Watch it, feel it, learn from it, create from it, but don't let it consume you.”
– Charlotte Eriksson, Everything changed when I forgave myself

I just saw a comment saying that authors who get 300 hits and only six kudos would assume 294 people didn't like their story, and it prompted me to make this poll to get an indication of whether that was an accurate line of reasoning or not.

So... I've made three new WIPs in two weeks. This is odd.
I'm not an ideas guy. If I was writing myself then I would consider this too out of character to keep in.
And yet.
#Although knowing me#I'll end up shoehorning them all into one chaotic narrative#that's how novels are usually made isn't it? lol#I would like to know why I'm like this#jpdoingwords#originalfiction#CaseysCreek#WiacubbinSaints#Sun&Moon#WIPs

editing is just you vs. past-you in a duel of questionable comma placement and emotional instability
