I saw a statue with a saying, and I just had to stop and stare.
"A writer must write what he has to say, not speak it," said, or perhaps wrote, Ernest Hemingway.
Truer words have never been written. I always thought there was something dreadfully wrong with me. I always thought I was dealing with karmic retribution for some cosmic sin in a previous life. Always thought my shortcomings and faults were so irredeemable.
But now I know. It's not all of that. I'm just a writer.

EXACTLY. I was just feeling that today. It feels like my entire generation has beat up on me, and the only way to make it mean anything is to just write my heart out. I don't wanna boast... but I feel like there is a legacy of be becoming a well-known American novelist. Crazy vibes, love.
I am there.
It's frightening and lonely, but exciting nonetheless
hookini is the capture I have to write to send this :D
