death should be celebrated...when you put something in the ground you always know where it is
Tea ObrehtWhen you're in a place, the details you focus on are different than details you focus on when you're writing about it.
Tea ObrehtWhen I was eight years old, I wrote a paragraph-long short story about a goat on my mother's hundred-pound, black-and-white-screen laptop. The story came about largely because I liked the way the word 'goat' looked on the page, but I decided then and there that I wanted to be a writer. That desire never changed.
