For that is what you are, that is who you are — you are an author. You cannot cease to write any more than you can cease to breathe.. This difficult season will pass — your eyes and mind will inevitably be opened once more to the wealth of ideas all around you.. And even if the ideas around you fall short of what you seek — even if, as you say, you have not the heart to write… perhaps it is your heart you ought to write of. - Laurie to Jo, on writing .Trix Wilkins
About This Quote
I am defined by my writing. I am not defined by my lack of writing or by the things that my writing is not. I can define my life in relation to the things I do and the words I produce, but my life is not one of doing. It is one of emotional growth, of learning how to be a better me, of giving myself over to the process of self-discovery.
