"Give me sentences that are true,

sentences that are naked bodies.

Give me paragraphs that rush and yield

like a girl dancing alone.

Give me words that smell like autumn."

writing hiatus

Sometimes I don't write because I have writer's block. Sometimes I don't write because things just need to sit and stew a while.

That's how I feel right now. I'm reading a ton, and I can feel the words brewing inside of me, gaining strength. One of these days I am going to sit down on the computer, and the words are going to fly out of me like sweet sparrows.

In the words of Zusak, "Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain."
