I imagine putting stars in my
coffee, and sugar in the sky.

with reality for a second.
They say I'm going mad.
They're right.

true self

find yourself;
you just have to
let yourself in.

They wish they had a book in print. They don't want to go through the work of getting the damn book out. There is a huge difference.
3892 Madeleine L'Engle
We, and I think I'm speaking for many writers, don't know what it is that sometimes comes to make our books alive.

When the magic comes, it's a gift.
