Currently Reading: The Thirteenth Tale

“Every so often I take an idea, plant it in the compost, and wait. It feeds on that black stuff that used to be a life, takes its energy for its own. It germinates. Takes root. Produces shoots. And so on and so for the, until one fine day I have a story, or a novel.”

“Human lives are not pieces of string that can be separated out from a knot of others and laid out straight. Families are webs. Impossible to touch one part of it without setting the rest vibrating. Impossible to understand one part without having a sense of the whole.”

How could one write so beautifully about love yet without a love story?
It amazed me, triggered the unsatisfied soul underneath my lazy bones.
Every sentence gives a ripple, rippling in mind and brings a picture in life, thousands of moving pictures.
A book after a book, a writer is always a reader, for the lust after words it not just giving, but also taking.
When can I write something that if can’t compare to those I deeply admired, at least won’t shame myself?
How can I express better, with more colorful choice of words and richer content, conjuring vivid pictures sleep n other’s mind.
What slowing my writing down isn’t only what my editor tells me, but also I found my stories not as good as those I love to read.
Not enough, way far from those I will keep beside my bed and want to read again and again.

I want a better me.
A writer me.
A good enough me to make myself buy.

Nothing comes from nothing, as you said &quotyou plant it, feed it and wait&quot, it might turn out to be something you like or you dislike, but you`ll have something of yourself. People may admire it or discuss it, on top of all, you are on the stage to be seen and judged. Isn`t it what you want? Once you got on that stage, you have to keep going, even quitting would be a show, because the audience would talk about you, not to say good or bad, but to say like it or not. As long as you keep going, you`ll always be better than the one you were, but it would never for you to buy, because you can`t be the audience on the stage.

you are good enough for us .
you may admire
those writers who have better skills and
talent, it`s unnessarry to compare with
them. You have your own writting style,
just ask if you are a little bit better than the one yesterday.
That`s enough. Don`t push yourself so hard.
