A’musing
Other than actually putting pen to paper, I can’t think of another more important duty of the writer than to stare wistfully out a window.
A life with papers
Any real writer — or reader — has had a papercut on the forehead at least once.
With or without a ladder
Climb from the depths of your soul to the heights of your future.
Feel it, live it
If you feel beautiful, then you are. Even if you don’t, you still are.
Folio, foliage, fall
Autumn binds poetry in its own withered leaves.
Living days
There are living days and there are writing days. But you can never have the writing without the living. And if you’ve got writer’s block you’d better go have yourself a day of living to fix it, rather than beating on an idling brain.
