oh to be a muse...

I once saw a quote saying “to be written. to be the subject of a poetry. oh, to be loved by a writer”. I find it endearing and amusing for someone as I who writes but has not been written for. It made me think of who I am writing for and what of it that I am writing to them still now.

So I wrote, scrambled some words I might say to satisfy my amusing with the quote and I say:

“To be my muse means to be someone who is courageous enough to break my brittle heart, to dance and stomp all over it 'til those pieces make something so bright and so beautiful like broken glasses pieced together making a wonderful composition; or someone undeniably handsome enough to stir my mind, wooing me with the words his lips utter—bewitching me; or perhaps someone ordinarily pursuing me with best foot forward and all the love a person can offer that it would be unfair to not give back the same amount of love for I cannot love so much even for myself.

However it is that a man must do, surely I could write something about them; but to be both someone I love and be my muse, is extraordinary for I will exude my greatest skill and passion for writing—all because there is a man worthy of the thoughts I throw onto the paper, all because there is someone I truly wish to give my all even if all I left with are just words…”

Two lovers have reincarnated throughout history, destined to find each other and fall in love all over again. There’s also this third guy that reincarnates alongside them… we don’t really know what he does.

the problem with reading and writing leading to a strong vocabulary is that you tend to know the vibe of words instead of their meanings.

if I used this word in a sentence, would it make sense? absolutely. if you asked me what it meant, could I tell you? absolutely not.

if you're trying to get into the head of your story's antagonist, try writing an "Am I the Asshole" reddit post from their perspective, explaining their problems and their plans for solving them. Let the voice and logic come through.

Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.

“I was thinking of a way to hurt myself, not knowing loving you alone will be enough to destroy all of what I've become”

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you
