I’ll never get over the fact that we can open a book and enter a completely different mind. No internet. No screens. Just you and a book that hits exactly where you are. Magic, really — and entirely manual.

For the Writers in the Gutter, Looking at the Stars

✨ You don’t need a degree to write
✨ You don’t need a perfect outline
✨ You don’t even need to know the ending.

You just need a stubborn little voice saying, “Keep going. This might be something.”

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Certain his tale would quite enthral.
But editors sighed and shook their heads,
‘Too many cracks’, was what they said.

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
Drafting a thriller quite grim.
He shouted with glee, 'It's page ninety-three!'
But forgot to include any vim.
