I think writers tend to be experience junkies, and I think they also tend to want to be on the outside looking in.
My only ritual is to just sit down and write, write every day.
My thoughts seem thick, ketchup stuck in a bottle. Like trying to feel someone's face while wearing goosedown mittens.
We haven't slept together. But we've napped
Bad news should be followed with soup. Then a nap.
I never get sick of writing my own stories because there's a certain comfort in knowing you will never run out of material. It's relaxing, actually, to write.
