Me: Now is the perfect time to focus completely on this one, specific story.
Me to me: Okay, that’s nice, but what about this amazing, brand new idea for a completely different story that you’ll probably never finish?
Every damn time.
Write. Write as if it’s next to breathing, with a certain fierceness- as if it’s the last thing that is supposed to be taken away from you. Write, with unrelenting passion that makes the reader fall in love and make love- with your words over and over. Because it’s a gift. Never let it fade away into nothingness and dust.
