"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
It is potential that every other hip savvy thinks-theyre-gonna-make-it aspiring writer has this tattooed on their left forearm, but even that's okay, because I just discovered this quote today and I think it's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
I was getting disappointed because I hadn't written nearly as much as I thought I could this summer, but today after work I sat in a park, originally intending to read some of Johnathan Safran Foer's novel, Everything is Illuminated. But I thought of words and phrases and things I need to tell someone someday, and I couldn't let it slip away so I rushed to write it all down. I even got up once or twice, thinking its too hot, thinking its time to go home, but I had to sit back down because I was thinking good thoughts and I had to be ready to remember them.
