ragefucking asked: why are you so amazing?! and where do you get inspiration from?
I am so amazing because I’m a hack of a writer and I have the audacity and ego to talk about the craft of writing and the craft of love like I know something about it.
Inspiration? In short, Hemingway. Landscapes. Breasts.
In length, the love and hurt of any woman is enough for a few thousand pages. The love and hurt of a good woman, however, is enough for the story of a whole damned life. I haven’t been to war or raised a child, but I’ve loved and hurt a good woman, so there is that answer.
Lately, it’s been an awful process, really, because the love inspires but the hurt is what boils out. I often sit down to write about this woman, to see what can be remembered. Anymore, though, the words come out as fear and things I’d rather forget.
