So here's what I wish for us:
* we give books as holiday gifts
* we get them from our local indie bookstores
* we spend time reading with the people and pets we love
* when we feel the call, we write
* we get enough sun, nutrients, movement, and sleep
* we bloom again in springtime & kick ass. 11/11

And I'm going to tell you something else. When you read a book, there were days that the writer hated everything they wrote, days they cried over the page, days they ate an entire bowl of candy corn just to fuel the useless words. But the reader can't tell, because you can always fix it later. 9/

So here comes the encouragement:
* you are not alone
* this, too, shall pass
* keep writing because someone needs your story
* keep writing because you love the craft
* you have survived 100% of the times that felt impossible
* art is rebellion
* art feeds your soul
* winter is for lying fallow 8/

Love is the creed I grew by
Love is the liberal's drug
Not Agape but Eros
With his Utopian hug.
...

He sat down at my table.
He finished all the wine.
'You're nothing, dear, to me,' he said,
But his body covered mine.

(Carol Rumens)

I don't know why it's taken me so long to get round to reading Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott but my God I needed to read this book right now, just as I'm about to tackle that shitty first draft. The way she writes about writing resonates so much and has so much compassion, heart and humour #BookSky

Leonard Cohen who died on this day 2016:

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

If “Euphoria” and “Get Out” had a baby and left it on the beach to rot in the sun, this is that book. In a world where billionaires can buy forgiveness by erasing memories, remembering becomes an act of rebellion. #Q #A #S #LF #T #questpit

YOU x Dexter
Quiet teacher, Ella, is not a psychopath – she’s just very committed to her anti-bullying policies. The kind that involve zip ties, knives and plastic sheeting.
And if you stay cruel and remorseless as an adult, she’ll teach you one final, bloody lesson. 👻🔪

This 90s horror about a haunted mannequin in small town America is sure to possess Grady Hendrix fans, however 18 yo closeted lesbian Roxy, who finds herself face to face with that evil pair of glass eyes, may seem less enthused.

A disciplined French student falls for leafy, laid-back post-Cold War Berlin—and for her reluctant host, an ex-athlete reeling from a wrecked career and a failed marriage.
The devastating catch? She can’t stay.
