Pink at the Grammys
Mom: I'm surprised she's walking.
Me: What do you mean? Did you think Pink couldn't walk?
Mom: No, I knew she could walk. She's just normally swinging off of stuff, isn't she?
: :Pink walks into harness and is lifted off the floor::
Mom: I thought so.

“There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
– Dr. Seuss makes me happy.
Dr. Seuss was a fundamental part of my childhood, but beyond that, once I got older and reread his stuff, I realized what a genius he was. So many of his books have these grown-up themes that he hid within his imagined worlds and completely ridiculous rhymes. He’s written...

Ideas come in all shapes and sizes and can be generated or inspired by almost anything.
As writers, we’re encouraged to read, read, read, but our imaginations are just as likely ignited by the things we watch, the things we listen...
Fiction writing
Attempting to write fiction is like coming up with one elaborate lie after another. It’s so hard to keep all the lies straight, to create these full-bodied characters: people with jobs, lives, and habits, wide brown eyes and thick,frizzy hair. To mentally design these undeniably real rooms: beds that creak in the same spot because of a broken spring, a floral, torn table cloth that a mother...
“Some music needs air. Roll down your window.”
– -Elizabethtown
Singing in my car, at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down, makes me happy.
I love, love, love singing in my car. But it is definitely more enjoyable in the spring and summer when I can roll my windows down and share my horrible voice with all the other drivers and...

Kurt Vonnegut’s 8 Rules For Writing Fiction
ilovereadingandwriting:
Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the action.
Start as close to the end as possible.
