Really hot day in Seattle today. Beautiful weather. Enhanced by the level of appreciation the people here have for good weather. That is really something. <\/p>\n
I’m not ready to leave but I plan to come back. Really explore this place when I find someone who can teach me how to have fun. <\/p>\n
Yes, I’m a fun person. No, I don’t know how to have fun. <\/p>\n
But I enjoy my life despite that. Working for a living. <\/p>\n
The key to being a writer. <\/p>\n
-Live.
\n-Be aware of big moments and small.
\n-Remember things, not necessarily how they happened, but the way you want to remember them with at least one hand touching the truth.
\n-Get it all down. You don’t have to show everyone but you have to put it down for someone. <\/p>\n
-Have a vice. <\/p>\n
The writer’s path to success:<\/p>\n
Have a vice that doesn’t kill you before you find your vision.
\nHave a life that doesn’t forget you before you find your story.
\nHave a god who doesn’t disappoint you before you find your glory.<\/p>\n
And if you are someone who is in love with a writer,
\nYou are in love with someone who loves their god more than they
\ncan love any human.
\nIt doesn’t mean they don’t love you as much as they can.
\nThey just love something so much bigger, they can’t rest until they find
\nthe words to know it.
\nTo truly love someone like this, you will sacrifice.
\nBut you will have lived with passion.<\/p>\n
I’m only telling the truth.<\/p>\n
I’m not even sure that’s a life I’m willing to subject someone to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
